Singing the Praises of the Pink Tiger Tomato

This grape tomato is not only tasty and juicy, but very pretty. No surprise, as Fred Hempel at Artisan Seeds, who created this tomato, is the master of hearty picture-perfect tomatoes that satisfy a most discerning sweet tooth. I prefer lower acid, high sugar tomatoes. Pink Tiger is one of the sweetest tomatoes I have ever tasted. It is a must grow and has been for at least four years now. Pink Tiger is a favorite of mine and The Sps. As well as anyone else I have converted to loving these sweet little babies.

The plants are tall and wispy, doing best with some strong staking. The plants are extraordinarily prolific, ensuring at least some of this sweet harvest will actually make it into the house. The health of seedlings and plants is good. Harvest is in August for my area, if plants are started in March/April and planted out in mid to late May.

Seeds initially purchased from rareseeds.com. Johnny’s seeds also sells Pink Tiger, but I found them larger and with a less intense flavor when I planted Johnny’s seeds in 2020, closer to Blush than an actual Pink Tiger.
