Overview
Black from Tula is a Russian heirloom named for the city of Tula south of Moscow. Fruit is three to four inches, slightly flattened, with blackish-red skin, deep reddish-brown flesh, and a smoky, earthy-sweet flavor in the Black Krim style; other sources put the weight at 8 to 16 ounces. The indeterminate plant is on the shorter side at three to four feet but still needs staking. Dark coloring develops best where warm days are followed by cool nights. Pick once the blossom end softens under light thumb pressure.
