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 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.

I grew only a few seeds, but they came up fine, and I was able to get some delicious, sweet melon! I sprayed it once with a copper fungicide, and I should have done it a second time, but I still go melons. (I have a struggle with fungal problems here). Easy to grow, easy to eat!
This stuff feed my garden all summer. Highly recommend
This was one of my first tomatoes from MIgardener seed and I loved it so much. Very tasty green tomato, and even though it was only in a smallish container, it was one of my best producers! Nice clusters (not quite so big and dense as the photo, for me at least...) and great flavor for eating fresh in the garden. I'm not the best with tomatoes, I don't treat them as well as I should, and I grow in Seattle (8b?) which is finicky weather every year, so I was surprised these did so well! Will definitely grow again. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures saved on the vine, but the little green one in the attached photo is one of them!
Love sales. Time to stock up
Pollinators love this flower. Especially honey bees.
They grew in spring then reseeded themselves for fall.
