Green Zebra Tomato – MIg

Description

Green Zebra Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a distinctive heirloom variety known for its striking green fruits marked with darker green stripes. Unlike many tomatoes, Green Zebra remains green when ripe, developing a juicy texture and a bright, tangy-sweet flavor with a refreshing citrus-like note.

The indeterminate plants are productive and continue producing attractive fruits throughout the growing season. Green Zebra is excellent for fresh eating, salads, sandwiches, salsas, sauces, and adding a vibrant color to dishes.

• Space plants approximately 60–75 cm apart.
• Provide a strong stake, cage, or trellis to support the vigorous vines.
• Keep soil consistently moist, especially during flowering and fruit development.
