Flavor

Described as bright and tangy with moderate sweetness, a zesty classic English garden flavor. This is the recurring catalog and grower description, not a measured claim.

Origin

An English heirloom striped tomato, sometimes sold as Mr. Stripey in the UK, bred for early, reliable cropping.

What it does well

  • Striking red and orange tiger striping
  • Early and high yielding even in cool summers
  • Long, productive season on the vine

Where it frustrates

  • Thin skin can split when fully ripe
  • Indeterminate vines need tall support
