I have been planting the Tiger tomato for many years. Small striped tomatoes like my children. I grow from my seeds, sometimes I update and buy in the store. I sow and grow seeds on the windowsill, and then I transplant them into open ground. The variety ripens on the site, although some large varieties do not always ripen.Phytophthora resistant.

I studied the description of the Tiger variety, I was interested in the multi-colored color of the fruit, I decided to try to grow it. Tomato bushes are tall. Sweet flavored tomatoes. Productivity is excellent, almost a bucket from a bush. When s alted, ripe fruits crack, but green-brown ones look beautiful. Medium keeping quality.
