Notes
'Japanese Black Trifele' tomato (Solanum lycopersicum 'Japanese Black Trifele') is a vegetable for food gardens, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is typically grown as an annual. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It sits low on the menu for rabbits. This heirloom has an unusual pear shape and burgundy color.
Pairs well with Habanero habanero pepper, Prostratus rosemary, and Eureka lemon.
