Tiger cherry tomato is an ornamental and tasty variety, with small berries striped in green and red that remain visible even at ripeness, with a sweet, slightly aromatic flavour.
It belongs to the species Solanum lycopersicum, family Solanaceae. An indeterminate plant with abundant foliage and good yield on numerous clusters.
Sow in a heated seedbed between February and March, with soil temperature between 20 and 25°C; transplant into the field between April and May.
It needs a sunny position and fertile, well-drained soil; staking and regular watering favour the development of the characteristic stripes on the skin.
Harvest is staggered from July to September; the berries should be picked when the green stripes are clearly visible on the red background, a sign of optimal ripeness.
It can be affected by downy mildew and alternaria in humid climates; good ventilation and crop rotation help limit the main plant diseases.
Its distinctive colour makes it perfect for enriching salads and raw dishes with an original visual touch, and it is also excellent as a snack thanks to its sweet flavour.
Rich in lycopene, beta-carotene and vitamin C, Tiger cherry tomato has antioxidant properties beneficial to overall wellbeing.
