Unit price perSolanum lycopersicum
Green Zebra is a distinctive tomato producing smooth, round fruits approximately 5–7 cm across. The fruit ripens to yellow-green with striking deep green stripes, while the flesh has a creamy texture and a mild, pleasantly tangy flavour.
Developed by American tomato breeder Tom Wagner and introduced in 1983, Green Zebra was created by crossing and selecting from several green tomato lines. Although relatively modern compared with traditional heirlooms, it has become a favourite among seed savers and home gardeners for its unusual appearance, excellent flavour and heavy production.
The vigorous indeterminate vines bear generously over the season. Ripe fruit develops a warmer yellow-green background while retaining its characteristic darker striping and will give slightly when gently pressed.
Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram. Approximately 40 seeds per packet.
