Heirloom Tomato Double Pack - Tigerella & Costoluto Fiorentino. (40 seeds of each)
Heirloom Tomato Tigerella.
Indeterminate (cordon).
A Great English Indeterminate Variety, easily suitable for both greenhouse or outdoor production.
Tigerella has red skin with orange stripes that streak from top to bottom when fully ripe.
This is an attractive highly reliable cropper of around 2 inches in diameter of fruits, looks really good and has a nice sweet tangy taste. Its definitely a keeper so keep some seeds to grow again. They still look great before there ripe and get sweeter when left on plant a bit longer.
R.H.S. 'AGM' Award Winner.
Seeds. Homegrown. Fermented, Cleaned & Dried.
All pics are my own.
Please note this is not the american beefsteak tomato that is sometimes referred to with the names "Tigerella" & "Mr. Stripey".
Those kinds are totally different Heirlooms and look nothing like each other.
This is the genuine "UK, Tigerella English heirloom"

Heirloom Tomato Costoluto Fiorentino
Indeterminate (cordon).
Im always going to keep seeds from this type, both tasty, meaty, and visually funky looking, yum yum.
Medium-large, old-fashioned, misshapen, heavily ribbed beef tomato from Florence (Italian heirloom).
Indeterminate Variety. Shaped more slightly flattened with fluted shoulders than most other varieties.
They are as pretty as they are tasteful. I find the fruits do not contain many seeds unless you look
inside the larger fluted sections. So if your saving seeds to continue growing this heirloom,
remember checking those areas instead of just sliceing in half and giving it a quick squeeze.
