Green Zebra Tomato

Solanum lycopersicum “Green Zebra”

Price range: $4.00 through $10.00

The Garden’s Emerald Flame

Dappled in sunlight and streaked with gold, ‘Green Zebra’ tomatoes gleam like polished jade marbles in the summer garden. Their bright green skin is patterned with chartreuse stripes that deepen as they ripen, revealing a flesh the color of kiwi with a sparkle of lemon-lime brilliance. One bite delivers a rush of tangy-sweet juice — bold, zesty, and invigorating — with a citrusy brightness that wakes the palate.

A modern heirloom bred in the 1980s by Tom Wagner, ‘Green Zebra’ has become a darling of chefs and adventurous gardeners for its vibrant look and complex flavor. Sliced across a plate, its emerald-and-gold rings create a visual feast, while its refreshing, slightly tart profile pairs beautifully with seafood, fresh cheeses, or drizzles of herb-infused oil.

Description

🌿 Why ‘Green Zebra’ Turns Heads

  • Unforgettable appearance — vivid green fruit with golden stripes, ripening to a glowing lime.
  • Distinctive flavor — zesty, tangy, and sweet with a bright citrus finish.
  • Perfect for plating — adds dramatic color contrast to salads and gourmet dishes.
  • Reliable harvest — medium-sized fruits on productive, indeterminate vines.
  • Culinary versatility — excellent fresh, roasted, or grilled for intensified sweetness.

🌞 Care Guide for Striking Results

  • Light: Full sun — 6–8 hours daily for vibrant color and flavor.
  • Soil: Fertile, well-draining loam enriched with compost; pH 6.0–6.8.
  • Watering: Deep, even moisture at the roots; avoid overhead watering to limit disease.
  • Support: Stake, trellis, or cage to keep fruit clusters lifted.
  • Feeding: Balanced tomato fertilizer at planting, with midseason side-dressing.
  • Pruning: Remove lower leaves and pinch suckers for airflow and concentrated energy.
  • Harvest: Pick when green stripes are bright and gold striping is pronounced; fruit should yield slightly to pressure.

🌸 A Citrus-Kissed Gem

Growing ‘Green Zebra’ is like cultivating a splash of lime in your garden — dazzling to the eye, lively to the taste, and unforgettable on the plate. Each fruit is a reminder that tomatoes can be as bold and refreshing as summer itself.
