(V LB) 70-75 Days. Large, 8 to 10 oz., purple beefsteak-type fruits are oblate, ribbed and full of visual appeal. Dark purple/red flesh has a rich, smoky flavor and texture that is very similar to Cherokee and Carbon. Expect high yields, healthier plants and better fruit quality than most heirlooms. Highly resistant to Late Blight. Indeterminate.

Grew well and was very productive, disease and cracking resistant

Despite crazy weather and water extremes of last year, Dark Star was one of our best tomatoes. Flavor was good, and it was more firm than many purple tomatoes, so it was less prone to bruising and damage. However, the "star" in the name might refer to the very large pale star shaped pulpy heart at its core, which I usually cut out because it was a little tough and not juicy. This could have been caused by erratic temperatures and inconsistent watering, which I will take care to keep on top of this year.
