Reviewed By: Kay (Almyra, AR) The first year I planted these were great - very tasty and abundant. The last 2 years I have had no luck with the seeds - I wish Gurney's offered these as a plant to start with, I am very discouraged with the seeds - but the tomato's are best I have every eaten ! - Wednesday, June 20, 2007ABSOLUTELY GREAT! Reviewed By: Danny (Beaverton, Oregon) Mr. Stripey NEVER FAILS! These tomatoes ALWAYS turn out to be 3 to 4 Pounds! LAST YEAR ONE GOT UP TO 5 POUNDS! NO LIE! It's great tasting as well! Try it yourself! - Tuesday, March 25, 2008The Best Taste Reviewed By: Denise (Conowingo, MD) Mr. Stripers (as they are called in my area are absolutely the best and sweetest tomatoes ever. A friend brought me one of these tomatoes about 6 years ago to try and I have been growing them ever since. They are very hard to find plants, the Amish nurseries are the only ones that grow them and have become hard to find. Two years ago, we lucked out and Walmart actually had them. So we usually start them from seed. I have read many complaints about them not producing. They are not a high yield plant, but the sweet flavor of the fruit makes them worth planting. They are very fragile and bruise easily. Once again the flavor of this old variety certainly compensates for the negatives. We nicknamed them the sweetest ugliest tomatoes ever. - Monday, June 16, 2008The heat of Arizona Reviewed By: Dave (Phoenix, AZ) Here in AZ it is well over 111* today and Mr. Stripey is still thriving. With 4 to 5 months of over 100* temperatures and many days over 110* I have a misting system that sprays the air around my plants with water mist, cooling with evaporative cooling and moistening the air. Works pretty well. - Monday, August 18, 2008Smaller than I thought Reviewed By: Lola (Rockville, MD) These taste delicious, and are sweet. However, they are not much bigger than a large grape tomato, and aren't even striped! They are orange in color. They are also not nearly as prolific as my other hybrid tomatoes, as of so far (mid August). |
