Japanese Black Trifele

Heirloom Tomato Seeds

(OP) 75-85 days

Organically grown. Produces many clusters of deep mahogany pear-shaped, crack-resistant 4 - 6 oz fruits on indeterminate, potato-leafed vines. We found that their aromatic, fruity flavor and silky, meaty texture made them the perfect snacking tomato; very few ever made it to the kitchen!

Growing Japanese Black Trifele Heirloom Tomato Seeds

Bee introduces how to plant

Sow seed in cell packs or flats, press into soil and lightly cover. Kept at 75-90°F., germination is in 8-15 days. Transplant into the garden 2-4 ft. apart after all danger of frost.

Heirloom tomatoes grow too large for the typical 3 foot tomato cage. Begin by tying each plant to one 6 foot stake. Then create a 2 foot square with 4 stakes around each plant. Wrap garden twine around the stakes at 6 inch intervals up the square, adding more rows of twine as your plants get taller.
