\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Pink Tiger<\/strong> is an indeterminate<\/strong>, mid-season julienne cherry bred by Fred Hempel (Artisan Seeds)<\/strong>. The plant produces slender, pointed pink mini-plums adorned with shimmering golden stripes, averaging around 0.7 oz (up to 20 g)<\/strong>. Gardeners in USDA Zones 3 and 4 report solid crack resistance, great shelf life, and high sugar content when allowed to ripen fully on the vine, often pairing it alongside its golden-striped sister variety, Blush.

Pink Tiger. Seriously tasty and gorgeous cherry variety, got my seeds from Popenko.<\/p>\n

Indeterminate vine, regular foliage. The fruits are pink elongated plums with golden stripes, weighing around 0.7 oz (up to 20 g), and remarkably sweet! \ud83d\ude0b<\/p>\n

Grew it in the greenhouse, pruned to 2 stems early on, then let it branch out into multiple stems once it hit the rafters. Performs as a mid-season variety. Yield is quite respectable for an elongated cherry, with a very long harvest window. Fruits keep exceptionally well, zero cracking issues, and they hold their full flavor when counter-ripened indoors. Absolutely loved this one! \ud83d\udc4d<\/p>\n

Svetlana, does it differ much from Blush in terms of taste and yield? Which one is the better pick for the garden?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I grew Blush out in open ground. It was also very productive and super tasty, with fruits that were slightly larger and a bit firmer than Pink Tiger. Honestly, both are winners! \ud83e\udd37\u200d\u2640\ufe0f<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Mid-season indeterminate variety. Fruits are elongated, tapered plums, very unusual and handsome with a distinct pointed beak. Pink skin highlighted with golden stripes.<\/p>\n

Yield was average for me. Skin is on the thicker side, standard classic tomato flavor. The fruits store remarkably well after harvest.<\/p>\n

This looks like the spitting image of Rozovyi Kotya from Partner Seeds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It probably is, they completely ripped it off! \ud83d\ude02 Their ‘Kotya’ is plain as day just Blush.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
