Here's a Google search for it, and new for this year referred to 2014 from Marianne Jones, and that's several years ago.

@clkeiper - That's another that Kath highly recommended. She really liked it and Black Star and she's grown piles of dark tomatoes among others.

I put out three of them this year also.

thanks Randall.

I saw this one listed on Bill Best's website & it was credited to the late John Allen of Cartersville Kentucky. It's already on my list for next year.

I have grown it, my seeds originally from Kath. I have grown it 3 years in a row. I love it. It is a normal size, by the name I thought it was going to be a cherry at first.

thanks Marsha. I think I got my seeds from you last fall/Winter? maybe. it hasn't been that long ago. That is where my rebel yell and terhune in the hightunnel I started in Feb. for this years garden. the rebel yell is beautiful. more fruit than the Brandy Boys at this point. Is this (blackberry) a pink tomato? I [I]think[/I] most everything I got was a pink slicer of some kind.

Blackberry is a black tomato. It was moderately productive, and super great tasting. Rebel Yell is pink, flavor is very close to a 10 for RY.

thanks Marsha... I have a really nice rebel yell in the hightunnel only one....( which I now regret).. but I have a whole row of pink slicers in there, too. Rebel yell is the only one with significant fruit on it yet. I might have another one in my tray I think I will plant it out if there is one there. I just wasn't sure about the blackberry one.

Try at least 1 Blackberry for sure.

I have one in the garden, too.
