\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Noire Ronde (Noir)<\/strong> is a late-season<\/strong> traditional French dark tomato marketed in Europe’s Prince de Bretagne<\/em> heirloom medley crates. Grown outdoors in Western Europe (USDA Zone 7), it reached 3.3 ft (1 m) and produced juicy, purple-to-black round fruits with a rich, sweet-tart flavor, a slight floral aroma, and tougher skin than Black Krim<\/em>. The main drawback noted is below-average yield due to its late maturity. Full summary \u2193<\/a><\/div>\n

Saved these seeds from a store-bought tomato put out by Prince de Bretagne, a company that sells 12 selected varieties all packed together in a single crate so you can pick and choose whatever you want. Right next to the crates they leave colorful flyers showing off the different varieties.
\nPretty smart move on their part when everything else on the shelves is just plain red tomatoes, and here they have all kinds of colors and shapes. Plenty of folks will buy some just to give them a try, and that’s how their business has been rolling along for 3 years now. It’s an old French variety, fruit color ranges from purple to black, juicy, with a tougher skin than Black Krim<\/a>.
\nDark inside with red flesh. Rich, well-balanced flavor with a nice mix of sweetness and tang, plus a light floral perfume. Our plant grew up to 3.3 ft (1 m) outdoors, and yield was below average, most likely because it’s a late-season variety. Two of the fruits had some dry cracking around the stem end, as you can see in the photo. The Noir tomato is on the left, next to some green tomatoes to compare the color.<\/p>\n
