B.C GI K
- 65 days, determinate, potato leaf. Huge production for me this year, 3.5-4lb per plant. Fruit 10-14oz each. Some splitting when fruit wasn't evenly watered enough due to the water restrictions in my area. Brownish/blackish fruit with green shoulders. Absolutely fantastic flavour, one of my favourite blacks of all time.

History
- Russian origin. It is likely the same variety as Chernomor, as "Chernomor" can be translated to "Black Sea Man" from Russian.
- SSE members list it as both regular leaf and potato leaf. The true Black Sea Man should be potato leaf. Fruit size also varies from grower to grower.
- SSE TOMATO 19.
