Fruits weigh around 6.3-10.5 oz (180-300 g) and are incredibly flashy with red and green stripes. The flesh is a deep crimson red color, and the seed locules are small and packed with bright green gel. These slicers are firm and meaty, with a straight-up classic tomato flavor. I grew this one outdoors in the dirt, and the yield was just average. I&#8217;m guessing this variety would probably perform a whole lot better in a greenhouse.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/157\/111-191216122047.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/157\/111-191216122047.jpeg\" alt=\"Irish Stripes sliced tomato, photo posted by ElenaN\" width=\"500\" height=\"412\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">S<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">stolin <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (1,513 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p><em>[Photo update:]<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/206\/13278-190118040007.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/206\/13278-190118040007.jpeg\" alt=\"Irish Stripes tomato harvest, photo posted by stolin (1)\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/206\/13278-190118040032.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/206\/13278-190118040032.jpeg\" alt=\"Irish Stripes tomato harvest, photo posted by stolin (2)\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/206\/13278-190118035934.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/206\/13278-190118035934.jpeg\" alt=\"Irish Stripes tomato harvest, photo posted by stolin (3)\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/206\/13278-190118035903.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/206\/13278-190118035903.jpeg\" alt=\"Irish Stripes tomato harvest, photo posted by stolin (4)\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- ===== FULL SUMMARY ===== --><\/p>\n<div id=\"full-summary\" class=\"tldr-box\" style=\"background: #f4f9f4; padding: 20px; border-left: 5px solid #4CAF50; margin-top: 30px; border-radius: 4px;\">\n<h2 style=\"margin-top: 0;\">Full Summary: Plant, Yield, Taste and Storage<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant:<\/strong> Indeterminate, mid-season vine with regular foliage. Produces highly attractive, medium-to-large flattened round fruits weighing 6.3-10.5 oz (180-300 g). The skin features pronounced red and olive-green stripes.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udcc8 <strong>Yield:<\/strong> Rated as average when grown completely outdoors in a short-season, cool climate (Zone 3). The grower suspects yields would drastically improve in a greenhouse or high tunnel.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Taste:<\/strong> Very meaty and firm. The internal structure is visually striking, featuring small seed locules filled with green gel that contrasts beautifully against the deep crimson flesh. The flavor profile is described as a classic, straight-forward traditional tomato taste.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf0e <strong>Who Reviewed It:<\/strong> Grown in the Kostroma region of Russia (USDA Zone 3), known for its short, unpredictable summers, which may explain the average outdoor yield. Another pro grower (stolin) also shared an impressive photo dump of their harvest, showing strong aesthetic traits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- ===== CTA ===== --><\/p>\n<div class=\"add-review-cta\" style=\"margin: 20px 0; padding: 15px; background: #f9f9f9; border-left: 4px solid #4CAF50; border-radius: 4px;\"><strong>\ud83c\udf45 Grown Irish Stripes?<\/strong> <a href=\"#wpdcom\">Share your zone and how it did for you in the comments below, and add your photos!<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"editor-note\" style=\"background: #eef7ff; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #2196F3; margin-top: 15px; font-size: 0.9em;\"><strong>\ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83c\udf3e Editor&#8217;s Note: Green Gel<\/strong><br \/>\nThe grower notes the &#8220;green gel&#8221; inside the seed locules. In many striped, dark, and bi-color varieties, the gel surrounding the seeds stays a vibrant green even when the tomato is fully ripe and soft. This is totally normal genetics and creates an awesome visual contrast when sliced!
