Notes
'Black Strawberry Tomato' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Black Strawberry Tomato') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and cottage gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of rabbits, though hungry rabbits will eat almost anything. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers, and this tall plant can reach 96 to 120 inches, so give it strong support.
