Tomato 'Nightshade'

Tomato Nightshade is a striking, almost jet-black mini-plum tomato that will certainly be the talk of your garden. At any stage of ripening, its dark skin remains nearly black, with a subtle red blossom end and a star-shaped red calyx, adding to its dramatic appeal. The deep red flesh contrasts beautifully with the inky exterior, creating a visually stunning and delicious fruit. With a perfect balance of flavour that isn?t overly sweet, this tomato is ideal for fresh salads. The small, 20g cherry-plum fruits are perfect for snacking and make a unique, colourful addition to any dish, offering a mild, well-balanced taste with a Brix of 8. Height: 1.8m (6ft) Spread: 40cm (16in) Consider planting tomatoes alongside French marigolds to help repel whitefly, and pair them with vegetables, herbs, chives, or mint to keep aphids and other pests at bay.
