All tabby tomatoes have a mild taste, are slightly sweet and refreshing with a slight acidity. In the case of green and yellow varieties, the fruitiness typically predominates in the taste.<br \/>\nAll of the varieties presented here are resistant to seeds and can therefore be re-sown from the seeds.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Red_and_pink_tiger_tomato_varieties\"><\/span>Red and pink tiger tomato varieties<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The two varieties &#8216;Artisan Pink Tiger&#8217; and &#8216;Maglia Rosa&#8217; are representatives of the red and pink tiger tomatoes, respectively. &#8216;Artisan Pink Tiger&#8217; shows a real play of colors from pink to red with dark orange stripes. It reaches a length of up to ten centimeters and has a balanced sweet, sour, and juicy taste. The &#8216;Maglia Rosa&#8217; is a sister of the &#8216;Artisan Blush Tiger&#8217; and &#8216;Green Tiger&#8217;, a breed by Fred Hempel. It is a mini bottle tomato about five to seven centimeters long and has bright red stripes on its pink skin. It is very suitable as a snack tomato for fresh consumption.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16813\" src=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/tiger-tomatoes-2.jpg\" alt=\"tiger tomatoes-2\" width=\"750\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/tiger-tomatoes-2.jpg 750w, https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/tiger-tomatoes-2-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Yellow_tiger_tomato_varieties\"><\/span>Yellow tiger tomato varieties<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>So far, only one tiger variety has been found among the yellow tomato varieties. &#8216;Artisan Blush Tiger&#8217; forms typically elongated golden-yellow-orange-striped fruits from mid-July, which are particularly convincing with their fruity-sweet taste.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Green_tiger_tomato_varieties\"><\/span>Green tiger tomato varieties<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The green tiger tomatoes are a rather newer breed and are slowly but surely establishing themselves with hobby gardeners thanks to their great taste. The &#8216;Green Tiger&#8217; is a beautifully green-golden-yellow-striped, elongated cherry tomato with completely smooth skin. It tastes fruity, sweet, and freshly sour, and it remains crunchy even when it is very ripe. The plants rarely reach more than 120 centimeters in height. &#8216;Lucky Tiger&#8217; is, so to speak, the dwarf form of the &#8216;Green Tiger&#8217;, a bush tomato up to 80 centimeters high. It forms fruits about six centimeters long that are striped green and turn slightly reddish when ripe. They taste very sweet and aromatic and are therefore ideal snack tomatoes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16814\" src=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Green-tiger-tomatoes.jpg\" alt=\"Green tiger tomatoes\" width=\"750\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Green-tiger-tomatoes.jpg 750w, https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Green-tiger-tomatoes-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gardender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Green-tiger-tomatoes-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plant_and_care_for_tiger_tomatoes\"><\/span>Plant and care for tiger tomatoes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Tiger tomatoes can be planted outdoors, but so that the fruits do not burst so quickly, they should be placed under a rain canopy. They also feel good in large pots with sufficient substrate or in the greenhouse. When planting from the beginning to the middle of May, a special tomato soil supports the root formation and growth of the tabby tomatoes. The nutrients it contains to give the plants a good start and supply them until the first fertilizer is released.<\/p>\n<p>When planting, you should stick a stick or other support into the ground to tie the tiger tomatoes. Although they usually only reach 160 centimeters in height, they need a little extra support, especially if there are several shoots. The nicely striped tomatoes are also produced on the side shoots, the so-called stingy shoots. In this case, tomato pruning is easy, because you can easily leave three deep-set shoots of the tiger varieties and remove all other side shoots.<\/p>\n<p>When fertilizing tiger tomatoes, you should use a primarily organic long-term fertilizer. In this way, your tomatoes are sustainable, long-term, and gently supplied with all the important nutrients.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#e3e3b2;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#fdfdcc;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><strong>Tip<\/strong>: You can also grow tomatoes from seeds without any problems.

When the flesh has worn off slightly under the fingers and the fruit is colored, it is time to harvest. Tiger tomatoes can produce tons of fruits that can either be eaten fresh or processed. They develop their mild aroma in soups and sauces, but also enrich every salad with their color and delicious taste.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You Might Also Like <a href=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/fertilize-tomato-plants\/\">How to Fertilize Tomato Plants<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The tiger tomatoes owe their name to their striped exterior.
