Description

An old beefsteak variety, ‘Black Russian’ has large, deep red fruits with dark green shoulders. The flavour is very rich and sweet with a hint of acidity, and the flesh is soft. They start ripening nice and early indoors but also do well outside in a sunny summer.

Care Tips

Under cover or outside they need staking, regular watering and weekly feeding for best results. Pinch out side shoots as they develop and then pinch out the tops once they have set 5 or 6 trusses.
