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.
I just bought this and would love to give it a review after I have had a chance to grow it.
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.
So far all 6 seeds that I planted have germinated and are growing well. I am planning on transplanting them into bigger pots soon until they’re ready for the garden.
My old reliable variety, always produces an abundance of tomatoes towards the end of the season!
Little pepper plants popped up quickly, they seem to be doing very well thus far.
Really great germination, I am currently growing them in my hydroponic system.
I gave one to my partner last summer... he said, "WHY DOES THIS TASTE LIKE CHAMPAGNE??"
This variety will be in my garden until I can no longer garden!
