Green Zebra Tomato Seeds ? Heirloom, Tangy 3oz Fruit, Indeterminate, 75 Days Description: Green Zebra is a striking heirloom tomato known for its bold flavor and eye-catching appearance. Bred by Tom Wagner in the 1980s, it was one of the first modern green-when-ripe varieties, created to challenge the notion that green tomatoes were unripe or bland. It quickly gained popularity among chefs and market growers for its unique look and zesty taste. This variety matures in approximately 75 days, making it a mid-season producer. Fruits are lime green with darker green stripes, ripening to a golden blush when fully mature. Each tomato measures about 2 to 3 inches across and weighs around 3 to 4 ounces. It is not considered a cherry tomato. Flavor is tangy, citrusy, and slightly spicy, with a firm texture and few seeds. Green Zebra is excellent for fresh eating, slicing into salads, and adding color to gourmet dishes. While not ideal for traditional canning, it shines in fresh salsas and pickled preparations. The plant is indeterminate, producing fruit continuously throughout the season. It grows to a height of 5 to 6 feet and benefits from staking or trellising to support its steady yield. **Summary:** Heirloom: Yes History: Bred by Tom Wagner in the 1980s, early green-when-ripe variety Days to Harvest: ~75 days (mid-season) Fruit Color: Lime green with dark green stripes Fruit Size: 2?3 inches (not a cherry tomato) Fruit Weight: 3?4 ounces Flavor: Tangy, citrusy, slightly spicy Uses: Fresh eating, salad, salsa, pickling Plant Style: Indeterminate Plant Size: 5?6 ft tall **How to Start from Seed:** 1. **Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost.** Sow seeds OE inch deep in seed starting mix. 2. **Maintain a temperature of 70-75F** for optimal germination.
