F3 seeds / F4 generation: Indet., regular … F3 seeds / F4 generation: Indet., regular leaf plants. I only manage to germinate 3 seeds from the original seed packet, and got 2 plants producing green/black bi-colored fruits and 1 plant producing large flattened and ruffled black beefsteaks, 7-15 oz. Flavor is very good and sweet. I am assuming that the goal of the selection is to get large black fruits. However, the bi-colored segregation line was also very good tasting - seeds saved as [[Muddy Mamba]]. tasting - seeds saved as [[Muddy Mamba]].

* Millard Murdock shared F3 seeds with Denise Salmon of Vancouver, BC, Canada in 2008 and this is what he wrote about the seed:
: ''"The Black Mamba is from a growout of a cross between [[Lucky Cross]] and an unknown variety. The F1 fruit was pink, but among the F2s, there was also a PL black, a PL bicolor, a RL bicolor, a PL pink, a RL pink. The PL black I named [[Black Magic]] and this one holds a lot of promise because it is a firm fruit that has more shelf life than most blacks. "''
* Named after [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_mamba Black Mamba] snake, the fastest snake in the world. ba] snake, the fastest snake in the world.
