Tomato Pole Green Zebra Organic Seeds

Lycopersicon lycopersicum

Item #3143

75 days from transplanting. Indeterminate.
A breeder’s work of art! (Read the story inside.) When we asked tomato growers which varieties to add, Green Zebra kept coming up because of its excellent flavor and unique color – rich, golden green with forest green stripes. Very smooth skin essentially free of cracks. Tennis ball sized — 3", 3oz. When a green tomato ripens, it will soften and develop a slight amber blush. Provide support for vines that reach 6' or more.

This packet plants approximately 24 plants when started indoors.

Days to Emerge:
5-10 days

Seed Depth:
1/8”

Seed Spacing:
A group of
3 seeds
every 24”

Row Spacing:
3’

Thinning:
When 2” tall
thin to 1
every 24”


When to sow outside: Recommended for mild winter climates only: 1 to 2 weeks before average last frost and when soil temperatures are at least 60° F.

When to start inside: RECOMMENDED. 6 to 8 weeks before average last frost.

Harvesting: Harvest green tomatoes when fruit has softened slightly and has a light amber blush. About 1 month before the average first fall frost, clip all blossoms and any undersized fruit off the plant. This will steer all the plant’s remaining energy into ripening what’s left.
