Irish Stripes

akgardengirl · October 27, 2019

Has anyone grown this tomato? If so, would you share your description and growing habits? I've see it online with the description saying its rare! Some photos look like a green and the others look like Chocolate Stripes.
Thanks,
Sue

Hi Sue, I believe it is supposed to be red with green stripes.
I have not grown it but I have seeds for it. Do you want them?

I grew it 2019

I was not amused about this kind, perhaps it was the heat

I have this data on it. Got seeds from "Tricia".

"85 days, indet., regular leaf plant with a good yield of 6-12 oz green striped fruit with very good flavor"

Haven't grown it yet. But it's on my list for 2020,
