Tshernij Prinz tomato plant – a young plant raised by us
Tshernij Prinz – special features of the variety
Tshernij Prinz is a semi-determinate beefsteak tomato from ReinSaat's variety-preservation breeding. The name means "Black Prince". The variety produces brown-red, flat-round fruit and, for a larger beefsteak tomato, ripens comparatively early.
Fruit, flavour and use
The multi-chambered fruit weighs around 200 to 300 grams. Its flesh is dense and at the same time very juicy. Flavour-wise, Tshernij Prinz is full-bodied, fruity and well-balanced sweet-tart. The tomato suits salad, caprese, burgers and sandwiches fresh, but also aromatic sauce.
Growing in a bed or pot
Thanks to its semi-determinate growth, the plant stays more compact than many indeterminate beefsteak tomatoes. Given the heavy fruit, it still needs a sturdy support. Prune only moderately and secure fruiting trusses if needed. In a pot, use at least 25 litres of soil and water evenly.
A tomato young plant, raised by us
We raise the Tshernij Prinz tomato plant ourselves at our family business in Illmitz. After shipping, the young plant should first stand in a bright, sheltered spot and be gradually acclimatised to direct sun and wind. It only goes outdoors permanently once no more late frosts are expected.
Absolutely recommended! I’m completely impressed with this chili plant seller. The quality of the plants is outstanding – strong, healthy, and clearly grown with passion and expertise.
The absolute highlight for me, however, was that this seller is one of the few places that offers my all-time favorite variety, the Lemon Drop chili. I’ve finally found a reliable source for this fantastic variety!
Shipping was fast, and the plants were perfectly packaged, so they arrived in excellent condition. I can wholeheartedly recommend this seller to any chili lover looking for top quality and fast delivery. I will definitely be ordering here again!

I’ve been buying my chili powder from the Tschida family for years, and it’s the best you can get. The family is always very friendly and helpful as well. I can wholeheartedly recommend their products to everyone.

#1 Spice supplier
Super friendly service when buying chili plants, and the products are truly excellent. My #1 source for heat :) The ultimate compliment came from an Indian colleague who said that with Tschida chili sauces, he can finally enjoy the level of heat he knows from home here in Europe!

Simply top!
Tschida Tschili – where heat and flavor come together in perfect harmony. The chili products are simply outstanding. I love spicy food, but many products just burn your tongue without delivering any real flavor. With Tschida Tschili, it’s completely different. For an experienced palate, everything is very enjoyable. The flavors are perfectly matched to the level of heat, resulting in truly delicious products.
I visit the farm from time to time as part of my culinary tours with groups. What can I say? Jan and his family are simply the perfect hosts – friendly, authentic, and genuinely local. I always really enjoy visiting you!
