| If you will go to Tatiana's Tomatobase website and go to the variety by name you can always find a list of suppliers for seeds IF those seeds are available. Tygress (XP 1432427)) is a Seminis AG seed apparently still only available to commercial growers according to the Seminis website. Dave |

| Tycoon and Tygress are the exact same tomato variety except one has nematode tolerance and the other does not. Tygress is a Seminis variety and in the link below which yoju can cut and paste you'll find onelink where you canenter your country/state , etc, to find where seeds might be sold.. http://www.google.com/#hl=en&gs_rn=9&gs_ri=psy-ab&gs_mss=tygress t&cp=15&gs_id=25&xhr=t&q=tygress+tomato+seeds&es_nrs=true&pf=p&sclient=psy-ab&oq=tygress+tomato+&gs_l=&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.45512109,d.dmQ&fp=7cce1b80136e3912&biw=1059&bih=393&bs=1 I;m not so sure I understand why both of these are considered rodeo varities, ahem, but you live in TX,possibly near San Antonio b/c there's a link in one of those Google searches to a newspaper article about bothof them, I linked directly to Tycoon seeds below and as manyof the links state,the most expensive hybrid seeds around which I can't qjuite understandlooking at the tolerancegenes included and as onelink said, very similar to some of the BHN varieties., So not for me considering the alternatives.LOL Hope that helps, Carolyn |
Here is a link that might be useful: Tycoon seeds

| Carolyn Thought this might interest you. Every year experts from Texas A&M's AgriLife Extension and volunteers from the agency’s Master Gardener association plant thousands of tomato plants. These annual tomato plantings are part of a research field trial to determine new adaptive tomato varieties that will grow well in Central Texas. The best tomato is selected from the various tomatoes tested and assessed during these trials and becomes the next Rodeo Tomato. Plants are offered for sale the following year during the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo, Sales of those plants help fund a Junior Master Gardener program and other youth gardening activities, along with horticulture scholarships.
