So why don't you ask him for some seeds.It wasn't clear to me if it was you asking for seeds or just a general question.

Also note that IMO there are several other dark colored beefsteak type tomatoes as well that are pretty darn good.

Just asking,why focus on just the variety Black Bear?

I actually avoided growing this one again …….because of the conflict of interest with the name ...


But it suited my "compact and/or dwarf " quest . (so I tried again )


and it had large fruit to boot ! Larger than Chernamor.

I am slowing looking for more blemish free and hold on variety .

But actually it was a good one .


I am going to downsize next year ( so he says ..)

and have less varieties and plants . I collected about 50 + varieties this year .

The black bear was a good one If I knew that Tania source was suspended I would have collected even more seeds .
