Growing Tomatoes

Question about Mr Stripey

15 years ago

The one I have raised is reg leaf and Beefsteak and drops blossoms bad but I have a big garden and the 4-6 tomatoes per plant is worth it to me. They are large and sweet. The grocery near me has large plants in gal containers for sale but are potato leaf. The little picture on the label looks like a beefsteak but I wondered if this is the smaller English variety? How many diff Mr Stripeys are there? Thanx

The English variety of Mr. Stripey(aka Tigerella) is also regular leaf, not pl. There are so many varieties being re-named it is hard to know what you are getting when you buy plants, but anything pl called Mr. Stripey is neither the beefstake nor the small fruited one that originated in England.
