Green Zebra

Incredibly sweet and tart, this heirloom tomato variety is a winner. I had forgotten from last summer how delicious it is... I have the name in photos I took back then... Ah yes... it's a Green Zebra.

 

This plant has survived some cold snaps and light freezes this winter. That was likely the cause of the bruises.. Will it make it through 'til spring is anyone's guess...

 

Here are all my photos of tomatoes:

It was quite a surprise to see this plant and its tomatoes growing and ripening in the middle of the winter...This delicious mottled and striped tomato survived uneaten just a few minutes after this photo was taken ... Then I ate it!! It was delicious...;))

 

As the following Wikipedia article points out, Green Zebra, though often called one, is not an heirloom. It is an open-pollinated cultivar bred from four heirloom varieties and released by Tom Wagner of Lancaster, Kansas in 1983.
