Reviews

Irina Sergeevna

I have been planting Tiger tomato for many years. My children like small striped tomatoes. I grow it from my own seeds, sometimes I renew it and buy it in the store. I sow and grow the seeds on the windowsill, and then transplant them into open ground. The variety ripens on site, although some large varieties do not always ripen. Resistant to late blight.

I studied the description of the Tiger variety, became interested in the multi-colored color of the fruit, and decided to try to grow it. Tomato bushes are tall. Tomatoes with a sweetish taste. The yield is excellent, almost a bucket per bush. When pickled, ripe fruits crack, but the green-brown ones look beautiful. Keeping quality is average.
