About Stutzman Black
‘Stutzman Black’ is a rare, beautiful tomato variety created from a cross of ‘Boondocks’ and an unknown variety by the late Millard Murdock of East Flat Rock, North Carolina, USA. It was first named ‘Spruce Goose,’ but Millard’s good friend couldn’t pronounce it and the name was changed to ‘Stutzman Black’. This tomato was listed in Seed Savers Exchange for the first time in 2014 by Bill Minkey of Darien, Wisconsin, USA.
Indeterminate, regular leaf plants produce a very good yield of 4-16oz./100-450g, brown beefsteaks with green shoulders, beautiful, reddish-brown flesh and green gel. The flesh is juicy, sweet, and spicy, and has an elegant smoky flavor. Excellent for making a tasty sandwich, grilling, or simply eating straight from the vine. Mid-to-late season, about 80-90 days to maturity.
