AnnualIndeterminate. Japanese Black Trifle is a unique heirloom tomato known for its rich, smoky-sweet flavor and pear-shaped, mahogany-colored fruits. This indeterminate variety produces medium-sized tomatoes with dense, meaty flesh and few seeds, making them perfect for slicing, roasting, or fresh eating. The plants are highly productive and offer good disease resistance.
Great seeds.
I wanted new trifle tomato seeds and I knew I could count on you guys!
They are a late producer for my climate in the PNW. The plant was healthy, the fruit was pretty but when compared to harvest size and taste they didn't quite make the cut. I grow 8 varieties of sauce/cooking tomatoes every year and then make a lovely spaghetti sauce with each one to taste test them. 2025 will be my 10th year of conducting these home trials for sauce tomatoes.
The seeds did perfect. They produced beautiful fruit. But I did not care for the tomatoes. The bottom half became very mushy while the top was still very green.
This by far is my favorite tomatoe that I have grown. It does not crack it's the right amount of acidity.

Great fertilizer. Used for the first time last year for my fall bulbs and they were stunning and strong come spring. Planting another 250 bulbs this fall so came back for more bulb fertilizer. I also use the Trifecta. Can’t go wrong with any of Luke’s amendments.
Great germination and very prolific.
I grew this in a straw bale garden in 2025 and really enjoyed it. It grew amazingly well and was beautiful, so I purchased more for 2026. Michigan zone 6b.
I have grown these for the last few years and they are hands down my favorite. I like romas and firm tomatoes. These remind me of mini romas. These are less prone to splitting, super easy to harvest and has a super great flavor and very meaty. YUM!
The cloves are large, full and heavy. Of the two cloves I kept (shared 2 with my daughter), 12 were large enough to plant, 1 will be consumed.
