Details
The Ussuri Tiger (AKA Tiger Ussuriyskiy) Tomato is a stunning and hardy variety originating from Russia, prized for its beauty, productivity, and resilience. This indeterminate tomato features vibrant orange-yellow skin adorned with anthocyanin splashes on the shoulders, often accompanied by tiger-like stripes radiating down the fruit, creating a truly eye-catching appearance.
The fruits range in size from slicers to small beefsteaks, offering juicy flesh with a delightful, well-balanced flavor. Not only is this variety flavorful but it is also packed with health benefits thanks to its elevated anthocyanin levels, which contribute to its unique coloration.
A vigorous and productive plant, the Tiger Ussuriyskiy thrives in various conditions, demonstrating excellent resistance to early and late blight and performing well even in cooler temperatures.
