Mr Stripey

• An American variety from Georgia: Mr Stripey is a striking bicolour tomato from the US state of Georgia. A note on the name: this large-fruited bicolour should not be confused with the smaller striped tomato also sold as Mister Stripey, sometimes under the name Tigerella.
• Large golden-yellow beefsteaks: The round to flattened fruits generally weigh between 200 and 600 grams. They are often ribbed around the top, with full shoulders that may curve slightly on the largest specimens. Their golden-yellow skin develops a red to pink blush and delicate streaks as the fruits ripen.
• Sweet and beautifully marbled: The firm, meaty yellow flesh is marbled with pink to red. Its flavour is rich and distinctly sweet, with very little pronounced acidity. Delicious fresh in thick slices, which also show off the attractive colours.
• A vigorous grower: The plants are indeterminate, with regular foliage, and can grow well over 2 metres tall. Sturdy support and sufficient space are advisable to manage the vigorous growth and heavy fruits.
• Good yields in the second half of the season: Mr Stripey is a relatively late-ripening variety. Good harvests of large, flavourful beefsteak tomatoes are mainly expected during the second half of the season. A particularly appealing choice for lovers of sweet bicolour tomatoes.
