Why are my tomato tops black?


Hello! I’m new to tomatoes and was gifted three of these plants from my local greenhouse. Because of that I’m not sure what kind of tomatoes they are. I’ve been taking care of them for a few months and am finally getting fruit! I’ve noticed the tops of the fruits starting to turn black – is that normal? Also help with tomato ID would be much appreciated!

    Yes, there are quite a few varieties that have very dark purple/black fruit. I find them to very very good, very rich tomato flavor.

    These look like the could be atomic brads, or something similar

    I’ve had some that were deep purple, that looked black. The word “stiped” was in the name. This was over 10 yrs ago. They still had bits of green when they were ripe though, just fyi
