Tigerella is a bi-colored tomato cultivar, relatively small, 2 to 4 ounces, and early (59 days). Its fruit is, upon maturity, red with yellow stripes, and looks essentially the same as Green Zebra, except is red instead of green, and has a sweeter flavor. Colour combos will vary -- in New Zealand, commercially produced Tigerella is dark crimson red with very dark green stripes.
Seeds are available in the UK for the heirloom Tigerella (which has small, plum/cherry-type tomatoes). In the USA there is also a hybrid (non-heirloom) beafsteak-type tomato also called Tigerella, for which results seem to range widely according to a number of bloggers, from large, firm and good-tasting fruit, to hideously inedible very soft fruit which on cutting appears to be all gel and seeds.
