The Carbon tomato is here for the long haul.
In our trials, Carbon produced an abundance of well-formed tomatoes averaging about 12 ounces each. The shoulders sometimes stayed a touch green when ripe, as is typical for black tomatoes, but the interiors were stunning: deep watermelon-red flesh, meaty texture, and just enough juice to make every slice perfect. Its flavor earned it the simple but definitive note: “That one’s good.” Carbon is a tomato that manages to be both refined and robust—complex in flavor yet easy to love. Matures approximately 80 days after transplant. Each packet contains a minimum of 50 seeds.
