A curvaceous purple tomato, slightly larger than Black Krim, this Russian heirloom was named after the opera singer and human rights activist. It is a very tasty black – juicer than the others with a smoky undertone to its sweetness, fantastic in salads or for slicing. The moderately tall vines produce a little later than Black Krim, but seem to be healthier and more consistently productive in our cool coastal climate. Indeterminate.
