Tomato 'Pink Siberian Tiger' (Solanum lycopersicum), Offered by Les Gardiens - Ferme Alternative

Its beefsteak-type fruits, round and flattened, weigh between 200 and 300 grams. Their skin displays a superb gradation of purple-pink with bluish shoulders, due to the presence of anthocyanin. This vigorous variety with indeterminate growth offers a generous production and adapts equally well to hot and cool climates. Its dense and tasty flesh makes it an ideal tomato for multiple culinary preparations.
