Featured tomato: Japanese Black Treffel

JAPANESE BLACK TREFEL MYSTERY TOMATO. OK, I'm going to be very upfront about this tomato. This is the first year I have grown it and the fruit that is being produced is NOTHING like the description. The description is a pouch shaped, pleated tomato which is quite dark black. This is not what I am getting. I am getting large, round, beefsteak type tomatoes that are black and remind me of Carbon, but not quite. So, if you are looking for Japanese Black Trefel, this may not be it. I think the seller mixed up seeds, which is incredibly easy to do because they all look alike. All the Japanese Black are growing fruit not to description. And yes, the picture is Slovene Black, but this is a very similar tomato, except the mystery tomato is larger and I forgot to take a picture of the fruit I'm getting. Whatever this tomato is, it is large, often over a pound, and very flavorful. I will call this Japanese Black Trefel Mystery because I don't know what else to call it.
