“Tiny Tiger” is very similar to Tigerette. I grew them side by side in the same sized pot this season. They were sowed at the same time and set out at the same time. Tiny Tiger fruited at least three weeks before Tigerette; however, both varieties set abundant amounts of small red fruits with gold stripes.
Tiny Tiger’s plants were 16” to 18” tall in pickle buckets. Tigerette’s plants were 13” to 15” tall, also in pickle buckets. Tiny Tiger’s leaves were regular rugose; Tigerette’s leaves were bright chartreuse regular rugose. Tigerette shows the flesh and gel colors of the high crimson gene, but Tiny Tiger is regular red flesh. Tiny Tiger’s fruits were 1 to 1.5 ounces, and best enjoyed earlier than dead ripe. I found their texture too soft at dead ripe to be pleasant.
I believe that Tiny Tiger can be grown as a micro-dwarf in a small pot, as it is early enough to possibly fruit before the plant growth reaches the overhead lights if indoors. The productivity would naturally be less with the plant in a very small pot.
