The proper French spelling is <em>Charbonneuse du Berry<\/em> (which roughly translates to &#8220;Coal-colored from Berry&#8221;), referencing its dark, charcoal-like hues and the historical French province of Berry.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant Habit:<\/strong> A relatively short indeterminate (sometimes acting as a semi-determinate). It has a modest, compact growth habit, making it an excellent choice for outdoor open-ground growing or lower hoop houses. Mid-early season maturity.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Cute, small-to-medium &#8220;plump&#8221; hearts weighing between 100g and 150g (3.5\u20135 oz). The color is a very distinct dark brown \/ brick-red, placing it firmly in the &#8220;black tomato&#8221; category.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor:<\/strong> Very juicy flesh with a pleasant, noticeable sweetness.<\/li>\n<li>\u23f3 <strong>Grower Notes:<\/strong> Produces an outstanding yield despite the plant&#8217;s smaller stature. It is also noted for being a great keeper, storing very well indoors on the counter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"add-review-cta\" style=\"margin: 20px 0; padding: 15px; background: #f9f9f9; border-left: 4px solid #4CAF50; border-radius: 4px;\"><strong>\ud83c\udf45 Grown this variety?<\/strong> <a href=\"#wpdcom\">Click here to add your own photos and review below!<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">V<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Valeriy1968 (Valeriy) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (1,504 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Vologda (USDA Zone 3\/4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p><strong>Charbonneuse Du Berry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A rare and quite unusual variety.<\/p>\n<p>The fruits are very beautiful, &#8220;plump&#8221; little hearts, not very large, averaging 100-150g (3.5-5 oz). The color is a dark brown, almost brick-like shade. I would definitely classify it as a black tomato.<\/p>\n<p>The yield is beyond praise, even though the bush isn&#8217;t particularly vigorous or tall. It barely reached 1.6m (5.2 ft) in the greenhouse. This makes it a great candidate for growing outdoors in the open ground. Plus, it&#8217;s a mid-early variety.<\/p>\n<p>The flesh is juicy with a nice sweetness.<\/p>\n<p>This variety stores very well indoors at room temperature.
