Growers’ Notes and Photos (USDA Zones 3-4 Experience)
Indeterminate mid-season variety. The fruits are beautiful, bright yellow with purple stripes that look like they were painted on with a fine brush. They run about 1-1.8 oz (30-50 g). Very good flavor with a nice sweetness. Good yield. Seeds from T. Kouchnareva.

Golden Tiger was a heavy yielder in the greenhouse, reaching about 5 feet (1.5 m) tall, mid-season. The fruits are small, round, yellow with purple stripes, and very juicy.
Here’s my little tiger from Kulik’s seeds. The catalog claimed 2.8-4.2 oz (80-120 g), but mine turned out exactly half that size. I gotta add that it keeps really well and was completely untouched by gray mold and late blight, which were absolutely rampant in our area this year. Delicious!
