Tomato 'Green Zebra'
Tomato 'Green Zebra'
Solanum lycopersicum
Green Zebra is an easy to grow, prolific yielding variety that is ideal for brightening up salads and remains productive over a long season. Brilliant chartreuse with deep lime green stripes the flesh is bright green and very rich tasting, sweet with a sharp bite.
- Easy to grow
- Mid-season tomato.
- 4-6 cm round, crack resistant fruit with a complex zing.
- Chef Favourite
- Great in salsas, salads, soups and entrees.
- For best flavour allow Green Zebra organic tomatoes to fully ripen on the vine. A slight yellowish blush in colour and a firm feel with a bit of "give" are signs the fruit is ripe for picking. Fruit will taste bitter if picked too early, and if left too late may become mealy.
- Indeterminate (vine)
- Developed by heirloom breeder Thomas Wagner in the mid 1980's

TRANSPLANT (recommended) – Start transplants 5- 6 weeks before planting date. Sow seeds 6mm deep, 4 seeds/2.5cm. Lightly cover. Keep mix at 23-28°C. Pot up into 5cm or larger cells after first set of true leaves appear. For growing transplants, maintain temperature at around 22°C during the day and 18°C at night
Harden off plants by slightly reducing temperature to 15-18°C and reducing water for 2-3 days before transplanting.
NOTE - Don't start too early—leggy, root-bound, or flowering transplants can cause stunting and reduce early production. Avoid exposing unprotected plants to consecutive nightly temperatures below 7°C.
