Cherokee Purple does well here and it has great flavor.

I did a careful search through SSE tomato listings and noted that most people who rave over black tomatoes live up north.  I think that the darker color warms the fruit enough to get some enzyme action that you'd normally only find in southern grown fruit.  I'm curious about the opinions of others on this.  I have not been particularly impressed by black tomatoes myself, and they tend to sunburn here.  If you want, Sam, I can send you all my old seeds.  Can't guarantee that any particular variety will grow, but some certainly will.  I have:
Black Plum
Black Tomato
Black Cherry (that was pretty nice)
Cherokee Purple (the potato leaf one does pretty well for me, and it is good)
Prudens Purple (only good when dead ripe)
probably some others when I dig through my seeds in March.      Donna Z6 TN
