- Growing notes
- An unusually early indeterminate that suits greenhouse or sheltered outdoor culture. A large container is feasible with tall support. Do not confuse the historical Tigerella/Mr. Stripey synonym with the unrelated large American Mr. Stripey beefsteak. Soil/culture: fertile soil amended with compost, even moisture, full sun
