I have been planting a Tigrovy tomato for many years. Small striped tomatoes my kids love. I grow from my seeds, sometimes I update and buy in the store. I sow and grow seeds on the windowsill, and then transplant them into open ground. The variety matures on site, although some large varieties do not always ripen. Resistant to late blight.

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