'Tigerella' Tomato Plants

  • Striking red and green striped salad tomatoes
  • Can crop for 4 months from June to September!
  • Perfect for livening up summer salads
  • Fresh, sweet, tangy tomato flavour
  • Cordon Variety–Grows to 2m, support and prune for maximum yield As Cordon varieties grow so tall they will need to be supported to grow up vertically. You can use a stake or train up a structure as long as it is tall enough for the plant. Prune away the 'suckers', or stems that grow in between the 'armpit' of the main stem and the side leaf stems. The idea is to train one strong main stem up from which all the fruit will grow.MORE

Cameron pairs time-honoured horticultural traditions alongside the very best modern techniques in our fabulous, purpose-built nursery in Evesham. With a background that saw him place at the Grand Finals at the Young Horticultural Awards back in 2022, we’re proud to have someone that really knows his onions.
