Solanum lycopersicum

75 days. Indeterminate.  These beautiful gold and purple tie dye tomatoes are super productive and bear an abundance of fruit over a long period of time.  We love presenting tomato mixes to guests, including every color of tomato we can find- this one's clearly a great addition.  Fruits will begin to soften during ripening and color will change from yellow to a deeper orange and purple.  Best as a fresh tomato.

A rare heirloom from Russia where it is known as Tigr Ussuriyskiy, this tomato is resistant to both early and late blight and can do okay during cooler temperatures spells.
