The Black Russian I grew out a few years ago (actually, two different seed sources) were regular leaf, indeterminate, succombed to disease early on, produced round 3 ounce brown fruit of pretty good but not outstanding flavor - and were identical to Black Prince in plant habit and fruit.

There is now rampant confusion amongst the various blacks - a testament to the level of renaming, synonyms, and crossing going on. What a mess!
