Beefsteak tomato 'Cherokee Tiger Red Large'
- Product number: 295282
- Origin: Central and South America
- Latin: Lycopersicon lycopersicum, also known as L. esculentum
The compact plants bear rather small beefsteak tomatoes (120-300g) in a bright red colour with golden yellow stripes. This variety originated from a cross between 'Cherokee Purple' and a compact tiger-striped variety: 'Tigrette'. The taste is complex but mild with sweet and slightly sour notes, as a tomato should taste...
The largest tomatoes in our assortment are called beefsteak tomatoes. This tomato gets its name from the larger amount of flesh (instead of juice). This applies to most varieties in this group, with a few exceptions such as the so-called stuffing tomatoes.
