Black Krim...yummy, yummy, yummy. I started growing several blacks last year; Black Cherry, Black Plum, Paul Robeson; all outstanding. Added Black from Tula and Japanese Black Trifele this year...thumbs up, WAY up for black tomatoes.

What I really want, the

JAPANESE BLACK TRIFELE
80 Days. This prized Russian Heirloom is of the Trifele variety, of which there are several colors. (The name translates to “truffle”.) Plant is short and potato-leafed, and produces prolific quantities of mahogany-colored, Bartlett Pear-shaped, fruits with green shoulders.

One of the blackest varieties and just gorgeous sliced open; 6-8 ounce fruits. Resistant to cracking. Indeterminate.
