The Japanese Black Trifele (meaning truffle) is not from
Japan at all: it's from Russia.
One of the finest heirloom black tomato varieties we have grown, mahogany-colored, with a teardrop shape and, meaty texture.
Fruits average 2 ½” diameter and the plants are extremely
productive. Very resistant to cracking. Indeterminate.
Provide support and remove side shoots and restrict the
plant to one main stem. In late summer remove the growing tip to hasten
ripening.
