Green Zebra Tomato - Rare Heirloom

Green Zebra Tomato — Heirloom, Rare

About the Variety
The Green Zebra Tomato is an eye-catching heirloom variety first bred in the 1980s and now loved by gardeners worldwide. Fruits are medium-sized, typically 3–5 ounces, with a bright green base and bold yellow striping that deepens as they ripen. Their tangy-sweet flavor is zesty and refreshing, making them a favorite for fresh eating, salsas, and gourmet dishes. The unique striping ensures you’ll know when fruits are ready to pick — slightly soft to the touch, with yellow streaks fully developed.

Growth Habit

Type: Indeterminate — vigorous vines that continue setting fruit until frost.

Maturity: Around 75–80 days from transplant.

Fruit Size: Medium, 3–5 ounces.

Appearance: Bright green fruit with bold golden-yellow striping.

Yield: Productive and reliable throughout the season.

Care & Cultivation

Starting Seeds: Sow indoors 6–8 weeks before your final frost. Transplant outdoors once seedlings are hardened and the soil has warmed.

Spacing: 18–24 inches between plants for airflow.

Light: Full sun (6–8+ hours daily).

Soil: Fertile, well-draining soil with compost or organic matter.

Watering: Keep soil evenly moist; avoid letting plants dry out completely to maintain flavor and reduce cracking.

Support: Provide strong cages, stakes, or trellises — vines grow vigorously and fruits can weigh them down.

Fertilization: Balanced fertilizer during vegetative growth, followed by potassium- and phosphorus-rich feedings once flowering begins.
