Reviews gardeners

1. Semen Ivanovich, 67 years old: I saw the Tiger variety on my sister’s site.I liked the unusual color. Tomatoes are ideal for pickling in general. The blanks are elegant, and the fruits themselves are very dense and tasty. Tomatoes are distinguished by a sweet taste, juicy flesh, few seed chambers. The only drawback is that the bushes require tying and pinching. Plants are not demanding on water. It seemed to me that, on the contrary, from a lack of moisture, the fruits have a more pronounced taste and aroma.
2. Victoria Pavlovna, 52 years old: I learned about this amazing variety from my niece. She has been growing striped tomatoes for several years. This year I planted several bushes in the greenhouse. The result was an excellent rich harvest. All tomatoes are smooth, round, round, perfectly stored fresh, due to their high density. It tastes sweet, slightly sour. It was a pity to process such beautiful tomatoes into juice and sauce, so I pickled them whole. I recommend everyone an unusual variety.
