Fruits average 2½” in diameter, with plants producing 5–6 fruits per cluster. Suitable for glasshouses or a warm sheltered spot. Very crack-resistant. Indeterminate growth.
🌸 Characteristics and Origin:
Appearance: Teardrop-shaped fruit, mahogany-brown or black when ripe, dark red flesh.

Origin: Russian heirloom variety, “Japanese” likely added for exotic appeal.
Hardiness: Crack-resistant, tolerates cooler conditions, shows good fungal disease resistance.
🌞 Starting Seeds:
Sow indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost
Warm soil 20–25°C (68–77°F) needed for germination
🌿 Transplanting:
Plant out after frost danger has passed
Choose a sunny location with fertile, well-drained soil
Plant deeply to develop a strong root system
💧 Care:
Provide strong staking or cages
Regular watering and fertilization
Mulching helps retain moisture and ensures even fruit development
🍅 Determinate vs Indeterminate Tomatoes:
Determinate (bush): Compact plants, stop growing after top fruit sets; all fruits ripen at roughly the same time (1–2 weeks); ideal for containers.
Indeterminate (vining): Grow and produce fruit until frost; bloom, set, and ripen continuously; require staking and training the main stem. Japanese Black Truffle is indeterminate.
