Black from Tula flesh soft and mealy?

johnhamilton1 · June 25, 2015

One of my Black from Tula plants was the first to have ripe fruit this year. The tomatoes look good, but the flesh is soft and mealy and doesn't have much flavor Tastes like a mid-winter grocery store tomato. Yuck! This is my first year with Black from Tula. Black Krim was one of my favorite varieties last year and I assumed the Black from Tula would be similar. What has been your experience with Black from Tula? I have a Sweet Chelsea Cherry next to the Black from Tula and those have tasted terrific. My other varrities probably won't have ripe fruit for another week or so. I am almost tempted to pull the two Black from Tula plants out and replace them with something else.
