Default Negrillo de Almoguera & Grosse Verte Rose!

Tried Negrillo de Almoguera last season against 6 other blacks and its production and resistance to cracking were outstanding. Fruits are large (10-24 oz.) and perfect.

Grosse Verte Rose was also super productive and crackless and about a week earlier than Negrillo de Almoguera. Over half the fruits exceeded one pound with the largest 29 oz.

I've tried dozens of black varieties since 2010 and these are the most noteworthy so far. According to your description, it sounds like you might be interested in a smaller tomato, though, whereas I prefer the larger slicers.
