Japanese Triefele Black Tomato seeds (Solanum lycopersicum) - Heirloom, Open Pollinated, Organically grown

Heirloom Organic Japanese Black Trifele Tomatoes are pear-shaped and rarely crack. They have are terrific for canning as they have less seeds and more tomato pulp than larger tomatoes.
Each fruit is about the size of a Bartlett pear, weighing 4-5 ounces. The plant has potato leaf foliage and is indeterminate. What really makes these worth trying though (at least for me) is that when you combine them in sauces with other plum or paste tomatoes they bring down the acidity. Also, really terrific for canning.

Packets: 15 (try it) & 25 seeds

Directions:
Sow seeds insides 6 - 8 weeks before last frost date for your growing zone. Once the seedlings are established, and frost warnings have passed, transplant to garden.
Plant each tomato plant about 2 to 3 feet apart. Remember to stake, trellis or cage to support the tomato plant as it grows. Prune once the plant has reached a few feet tall.

Maturity: 70-80 days from transplant
