The fruits look very exotic. They are elongated icicle shapes weighing up to 2.5 oz (70 g), brick-red in color with dark olive stripes. The taste is a classic, ordinary tomato flavor. It didn&#8217;t drop a single blossom on any of its trusses. This is a Brad Gates variety, highly recommended for fans of exotic tomatoes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/156\/111-171216053510.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/156\/111-171216053510.jpeg\" alt=\"Boar's Tooth striped tomatoes hanging on the vine\" width=\"455\" height=\"418\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/156\/111-171216053523.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/156\/111-171216053523.jpeg\" alt=\"Harvested Boar's Tooth tomatoes\" width=\"398\" height=\"481\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/156\/111-171216053540.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/156\/111-171216053540.jpeg\" alt=\"Meaty cross section of Boar's Tooth paste tomato\" width=\"450\" height=\"408\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">I<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">ilja (Ilya) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (758 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Klin District, Moscow Region (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>My Boar&#8217;s Tooth grew very tall in the greenhouse, reaching about 6.5 feet (2 m).
