Mr. Stripey Tomato
Latin Name:
Solanum lycopersicum Mr. StripeyBeefsteak-type fruits that are mild, sweet-tasting that have a high sugar content, low in acidity and grow to over 1 lb. each. Pretty and luscious, this heirloom tomato has rich yellow undertones covered with pinkish-red striping.
The exact history of 'Mr. Stripey' is a bit confusing. It was reportedly discovered in Georgia and named and introduced commercially in the 1990s by Wayne Hilton, who at that time owned several old seed company brands. It seems that whomever named this mid-Atlantic American heirloom tomato in the 1990s was unaware that Thompson & Morgan in the United Kingdom was already selling tomato variety with this name.
