498 Dark Tiger Tomato, 5 Seeds

Variety characteristics:

• 498 Dark Tiger is a striking dark-fruited tomato with glossy red to deep burgundy skin, near-black purple shoulders, and irregular bronze-brown striping. The round to slightly flattened fruits develop their darkest coloration under strong sunlight, while shaded fruit may ripen with more red and brown tones. Productive plants bear attractive clusters and require sturdy support when grown as tall, indeterminate vines. The balanced tomato flavor is well suited to fresh slicing, salads, sandwiches, and colorful mixed-tomato platters. Because Dark Tiger is circulated through more than one seed source, fruit size, plant height, and stripe intensity may vary by line.
