Ok, I have now harvested and eaten 6 Black Prince tomatoes from this plant.
To my taste buds this is an excellent tasting tomato. A really nice combination of sweetness and acidity that tastes especially good on a traditional Southern tomato sandwich (white bread, mayo, salt and pepper and bacon if you got it).
The plant has been a slow, but steady grower that remains healthy and has recently put on more fruit with the typical Mississippi June weather settling in. It has 15 fruits on it now and they have been averaging a little over 3 ounces each with a range of 2.25 to 4.5 ounces.
I am going to save some seeds from the next few I harvest and will definitely grow this again. A bonus which offsets its small size it that it is early, coming in a full week before Early Girl set out the same day (and much better tasting).
