Mr Stripey TOMATO

Nice tomato plant that arrived on time in great condition. Plant was larger than expected with a well developed roof system. Transplant went well and has grown a couple of inches in a week.

Sad story, happy ending

My plant arrived broken and wilted. It was so pitiful when I opened the box. I was SO looking forward to Mr. Stripey this year as last year I had no tomatoes. Sadly it wasn't meant to be. Happy ending, customer service was fantastic and refunded my purchase of the tomato plant and all the rest of my plants are happy and flourishing.

Beautiful and delightful

This was my first time growing growing Mr. Stripey and I will definitely be purchasing them again next year! They have a delicious, sweet flavor and so far have been the top producer out of all of my tomato plants, by far. I'm glad I gave this one a shot.

Wilted

Received the plant that was well packed. Unfortunately, the plant looked like it had been stored for two days in a sauna bath by the shipper. All the foliage had drooped and melted together in a green mass. I cut it off and planted the stem but have low hopes for a recovery.
