Culinary Uses: Tigerella Tomatoes are prized for their sweet, tangy flavor and firm texture. Their vibrant color and attractive stripes make them ideal for slicing and adding to salads or sandwiches, where they bring both visual appeal and taste. Additionally, their firm flesh holds up well to cooking, making them suitable for canning or adding to sauces and salsas. Whether enjoyed fresh or incorporated into various dishes, Tigerella Tomatoes add a burst of flavor and beauty to any culinary creation. Growth Habit & Planting Instructions: As an indeterminate variety, Tigerella Tomatoes will continue to produce fruit throughout the growing season. Plant them in full sun and well-drained soil for optimal growth. Start seeds indoors approximately 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date, then transplant them outdoors once all danger of frost has passed. Space plants about 18-24 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and room for growth. Provide support for the plants using stakes or cages, as they can grow quite tall and produce heavy fruit. Regular watering, mulching, and fertilizing will help ensure a healthy and abundant harvest of these unique and flavorful tomatoes.
