Black Early produces earlier and with more fruits here in Wyoming. I got my seed from Baker Creek. I see it as available at Heritage Tomato Seed. "Black Early is a delicious medium sized black tomato. For us, Black Early wasn’t as early as
Vorlon but was still an early, heavy producer.
According to Ake Truedsson, who introduced this variety to SSE in 1998, this cultivar came from France." It tastes very much like Cherokee Purple.
