For a long time it was therefore grown mainly as an ornamental and a curiosity. Its names from that era sound all the more enchanted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith medium-sized fruits, Tigerella is versatile: for salads, on bread or for preserving.

A fruit that was feared, yet named after love and paradise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA thought for giving\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTomato flowers pollinate themselves – often a light breeze or a gentle tap on the stem is enough for fruit to set.
