Tomato 'Black Elephant'

Keep in mind when planting that Black Elephant is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside.

Start indoors six weeks before last frost date.

Plant to the first set of true leaves to promote strong root growth.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Black Elephant is a tender plant.

Chyornyi Slon translates from Russian to “Black Elephant” in English.

Originally from Russia, introduced to North America by Andrey Baranovski of Minsk, Belarus.
