I've grown Black Prince 2 of the last 3 seasons and have been very happy with it. Large, prolific growing plants. Consistent 6-8oz fruit. Abundant producer.

I had one plant in 07 and saved some seed. Two plants this year came from that. The original plant was from Laurel at heirloomtomatoplants. She's a big Gary Ibson/tomatofest fanboi, so her seed may have come thru him. (If that clue is helpful to you detective types...)

I'm a total noob and don't have near the experience to compare it to all the other blacks people speak of. Starting out, it's been encouraging enough to get predictable results and lots of tomatoes. But I'm looking forward to trying Black from Tula and Paul Robeson in coming seasons...
