Indeterminate- The Carbon tomato is an heirloom variety renowned for its rich, complex flavor and unique deep purple to dark red color. These large, beefsteak tomatoes can weigh up to 10-12 ounces, making them ideal for slicing. The fruit’s juicy, sweet, and slightly smoky taste makes it a favorite among tomato enthusiasts. This variety is prized not only for its exceptional taste but also for its appealing, dark, and almost black skin.
So I've grown this tomato for many years now, and I've grown it in a "death match" with many storied competitors. Carbon has reliably beaten both Paul Robeson and the legendary Black Krim in my opinion. Grown together in the same garden, tasted together at the same time, going back and forth for each each bite. I even think it edges out the remarkable new-comer Black Beauty. Carbon manages to dominate in its own unassuming way. If you crave the black tomato flavor, that earthiness, that subtle smoke, you must try Carbon.

Fantastic tomato with that special taste.
An excellent variety everyone should try
Beautiful seeds make beautiful plants. Thank you for a lovely product.
I received my seeds on time and immediately planted them. They germinated in 3 days. I'm about a week away from planting them into my garden. Hope to taste this variety soon.
We planted five seeds in five die pattern in 12 x 2.5" starter pots because we suspected finicky germination rate, but much to our surprise 53 of the 60 seeds came up! We gave four seedlings to family and pricked the remaining 49 out and everyone is doing very well in its own pot. Grade A seeds in our opinion! We love MIGardener!
Germanated quickly on a heat mat. Off the mat and growing ready to transplant early/mid april. Excited for leeks this autumn
Last year I bought seeds from my local store and I didnt get anything to germinate. This year I purchased all my seeds from MIGardener and I've had to give seedlings away cause nearly all the seeds sprouted!!!
Great germination! I'm excited to see how the onions turn out
My only complaint is that I was not prepared for how well and fast all of the seeds would grow soI had to pot up earlier than expected! I am very happy with all of the seeds I have purchased from here!
