Plant Features

Green Zebra tomatoes are garden standouts, admired for their striking, flavorful fruits that add flair. This open-pollinated variety produces green tomatoes with yellow stripes weighing 2 to 4 ounces, with smooth, firm skin—great for salads, fresh eating, or garnishes. The flesh is juicy and vibrant, delivering a tangy tomato flavor with a hint of sweetness and a crisp bite.

Why pick Green Zebra? Created by Tom Wagner in the 1980s, this indeterminate plant grows to 4–6 feet with support, yielding a steady crop through the season. It’s a unique choice for gardeners seeking zesty, colorful tomatoes with no notable disease resistance until frost.

Grown naturally and pesticide-free, our Green Zebra starter plants arrive healthy and ready to thrive in your garden. Nurtured for success, they deliver a generous harvest of these distinctive tomatoes.
