Variety characteristics:

• 565 Tiger Paw is a productive American heirloom tomato distinguished by its unusual pale yellow fruits and exceptionally delicate texture. Vigorous indeterminate plants generally reach approximately 4.5 to 5.5 feet tall and bear flattened-round, lightly to moderately ribbed tomatoes weighing approximately 2.8 to 4.2 oz in this seed lot. The creamy yellow fruits may develop translucent golden flesh, faint pink rays, or a subtle rosy blush at full maturity. Their lobed, gently segmented shape sometimes resembles the impression of an animal’s paw. Inside, the juicy flesh becomes silky, creamy, and almost jelly-like when fully ripe. Its aromatic flavor combines pronounced sweetness with tropical-fruit character and a refreshing hint of citrus. Excellent for fresh slicing, salads, sandwiches, mild salsa, juice, and colorful tomato platters.
