Japanese Trifele Orange Tomato
I made a post last year about various colored Japanese Trifele tomatoes I grew, and this year I grew the missing orange colored variety you see in the picture above.
These were quite a bit larger than the other I grew before, the one in the left of this picture weighing in at about 125g and about 7cm wide.
This tomato too has the same slightly green and slow to ripen shoulders, that isn’t obvious in this picture but showed up on most of the fruits. I wonder why this seems to be a trait sought after by the breeder? Anyway, I didn’t find it a plus point.
The flavor wasn’t as complex as the black version, but the taste of this tomato was very good!
The seeds for this tomato came from Andrey Baranovski of Minsk, Belarus, a seed saving gardener.

What a lovely speciman. I have always liked the orange colored tomatoes even though they never do all that well in our garden. Perhaps this will be the year.
Oh! It’s a good thing you didn’t tell me that’s what these were, because I did not like the yellow ones last year at all, and I probably would have made faces. So yeah, these were tasty.
I love the look of these tomatoes, they’re beautiful! It’s my first year for the black version, but I might have to add that orange version to the garden next year. For some reason, I like having pairs (my Tlacolula Ribbed and Zapotec Pleated are one of these pairs – even if they’re not directly related they just seem to go together!).
