Story:
From Tatiana’s TOMATObase:
Russian commercial variety. First offered in the Seed Savers 1999 Yearbook by Åke Truedsson of Klagshamn, Sweden (SWED TR A). The original name is Yaponskiy Trufel Chernyi, but unfortunately the seed came to North America with the translated name, Japanese Trifele Black, and it was offered by many commercial seed vendors with the translated name.
