Tomato 'Striped Cavern'

Striped Cavern likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Striped Cavern is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Ideally plant in loamy soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.0 and 6.0 as Striped Cavern likes to be in moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil.

Start seeds indoors six weeks before last frost date.

Sow 0.78 inches (2.0 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 2.60 feet (80.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 12°C / 54°F to ensure good germination.

Transplant out when around 15cm (6 inches) high.

Plant to first set of leaves to promote strong roots.

Ensure that temperatures are mild (minimum night temperatures should be around 21°C / 70°F) and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Striped Cavern is a tender plant.

Ripe fruit will be red with bright orangish yellow stripes. About the same size and shape as a bell pepper, and weighing about 8 ounces.
