Historical tomato variety

Variety description: The stake tomato ‘Tigerella’ is a very resilient and productive plant. The red fruits with yellow stripes weigh 70 - 100 grams and are juicy with an excellent taste.

This historic variety originally comes from Mexico and was introduced to England around 1778. The Tigerella grows to a height of 120 - 180 cm. The tomatoes can be harvested after around 70 days.

Cultivation: The seeds for tomatoes can be sown from the beginning of January to the end of May. At 20° - 25°C, the seeds germinate after 5 - 14 days. For faster germination, you can let the seeds soak overnight in a damp cloth. Always grow on the windowsill or in the greenhouse until mid-March. The tomato plants can only be put outside after the frost.

Care: The cultivation temperature is 18° - 20°C and should not be below 14°C at night. Loose, humus-rich and moist soil is suitable. Good, uniform soil is sufficient. Sunny and wind-protected locations are ideal for rapid and healthy growth.
