- Dianna B.Rated 1 out of 5 stars7/16/26Not green zebra
Another seed mixup. I’ve grown green zebra tomatoes for the past 5 years. I love the flavor, size it doesn’t crack and is a short season tomato. But this looks like a beefsteak tomato not a green zebra tomato. I’m so disappointed! Plus i have a short growing season where I live- 70 days to maturity versus 100 days to maturity is a huge difference. This is the third time I have received the wrong seeds in a packet.

- LizVerified ReviewerRated 2 out of 5 stars7/10/26Mislabeled Seeds
I grew Green Zebra tomatoes last year from a seedling I bought at a plant sale. I fell in love with the variety and wanted to try growing one from seed this year. Almost immediately, I knew it was a wrong variety because the leaves were shaped differently. I waited to confirm my suspicion and voila—the fruit developed into a big heirloom tomato, and it turned red! Delicious, but not what I was hoping to grow.

- Trish P.Verified BuyerRated 1 out of 5 stars6/24/26Definitely NOT Green Zebra!
There was a mixup with seeds I got! This a HUGE 1 lb beefsteak tomato. No stripes, definitely not 3oz - 6oz fruit.

I was really excited to grow these tomatoes... unfortunately, there seems to have been a mix-up with the seeds in the packet, as these are definitely not Green Zebras ☹️

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with our Green Zebra Pole Tomato Seeds! We're glad to hear they taste good. Green Zebra tomatoes are known for their unique coloring - they typically ripen to a yellowish-green with darker green stripes, and can sometimes have reddish hues depending on growing conditions and ripeness. If you wouldn't mind sending the lot # and year from the back of the seed packet we'd love to look into this for you. We appreciate your honest feedback about the appearance, and I'll share this with our seed team. Keep on growing 🌻️
