About Black Pepper

This extremely rare and unusual tomato really does look like a pepper. The plant is small, indeterminate, with wispy foliage and sets a number of brown fruit with distinctive shapes and tiny seed cavities. They are fine in salads and makes a great sauce as well. Save some room for Black Pepper tomato if you would like to try something completely different. Similar to Sosulka Chernaya or Black Icicle tomato.
