Japanese Black Trifele Tomato

[silverbirch]

I chose some of these from Suzanne's rainbow seed swap, and they've just sprouted!

Not having ever grown them before, I had a quick tootle around on the web.

Apparently, they are a deteminate variety, apart from the sites that tell me they are indeterminate!

Help!!

Whoever has grown them, can you give me a proper answer?

Thanks

This arguement has been going on for years with this one, I think it is generally accepted among tomato collectors that it is fact a determinate, Personally I
think it is a semi det which I treat like determinate anyway. I treat it as a determinate.

Now you know  what all the tom collectors know..basically you have to decide for yourself.

My point is , if you treat as a ID and prune, you will lose fruit, if you treat as a det you won't lose fruit but you will get a biggish plant.

As many of the semi's are like this anyway, I just treat it as one of them.

Excellent tom by the way,
