Tatiana's tomato base has them in Canada if you don't find anyone to swap with.

I've never heard of them, but it is a lovely name. Googled them and they look a bit like tigerellas.

They are nice enough to eat, I found them a tad on the bland side, particularly compared to some of the other 'stripys' I grew last year. But they are super to look at, largish cherry size, a reddy colour with beautiful green stripes. They are very pretty, stripy like Tigerella, but looks more similar to Green Tiger and Black Zebra Cherry.

Whether they're bland or tasty seems to vary from garden to garden, though doesn't it? It's possible you could find they're delicious for you shades. (Or on the other hand even blander!)

More likely from gardener to gardener... as we like different bits of the flavours...  :-\

Oh! When I started reading that sentence, I thought you meant whether the gardener was any good!  ;D
