About This

• Deep, Rich Flavor with Striking Appearance: Gum Drop Black delivers an intensely sweet taste packed into dark, black-striped 1-inch fruits, making them a flavorful and visually dramatic addition to salads, platters, and snacks.
• Compact Plants with High Yields: Semi-determinate plants stay manageable in size while producing heavy, continuous clusters of richly colored fruits throughout the growing season, perfect for small gardens and containers.
• Nutrient-Dense Superfood Benefits: Each fruit is loaded with essential nutrients including vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, lycopene, beta-carotene, and antioxidant-rich flavonoids, contributing to a healthy, flavorful diet.
• Self-Pollinating and Low Maintenance: These vigorous plants are naturally self-pollinating, thrive in full sun, and benefit from simple staking or caging to support the heavy fruit loads over a long harvest season.
• Simple Growing for Success: Start seeds indoors 5 to 6 weeks before the last frost or direct sow into warm spring soil; transplant outdoors after frost danger passes, mulch to maintain soil moisture, and protect young plants if temperatures dip below 50°F.
