Green Zebra

Green Zebra is a small slicing tomato bred by Tom Wagner of Tater Mater Seeds in the United States and introduced in 1983, making it a modern open-pollinated variety rather than a true antique heirloom. The two to three inch fruit ripens to a chartreuse-gold ground color overlaid with distinct darker green stripes, and the flesh stays a bright lime green when ripe. It is prized as much for its striking looks on the plate as for its bright, zingy flavor. Indeterminate vines are productive and set fruit in generous clusters. Green Zebra became a signature ingredient of the California farm-to-table movement and is a favorite for salads and garnishes.
