| History
|
* Russian origin.
* First introduced in S … * Russian origin.
* First introduced in SSE 2008 Yearbook by Neil Lockhart of Oblong, Illinois (IL LO N), who obtained seeds from [http://mitglied.lycos.de/rkraft/index.htm Reinhard Kraft], Neukirchen, Germany '' ''.
* Reinhard Kraft received seeds from Andrey Baranovski of Minsk, Belarus with a translated name that he felt was racially discriminatory. As it appeared to be a great tomato, Mr. Kraft chose a nice neutral name for it - 'Black Bear' - and shared seeds under this new name.
* The original Russian name for this tomato was [[Negrityonok]]. However, [[Negrityonok]] is a much smaller tomato compared to what [http://mitglied.lycos.de/rkraft/index.htm Reinhard Kraft], Neukirchen, Germany '' '' observed in his growouts. It is obvious that just environmental growing conditions could not be responsible for such a huge difference in fruit sizes, therefore it makes sense to consider [[Black Bear]] tomato a different strain. [[Black Bear]] tomato a different strain.
