Unique, tangy, and colorful: The Green Zebra Giant tomato is a vibrant heirloom variety known for its striking green and yellow striped skin and rich, tangy flavor. This slicing tomato is perfect for fresh salads, sandwiches, and garnishing. It’s relatively easy to grow, making it ideal for gardeners who enjoy unique and flavorful tomatoes.

Direct Sowing: Sow seeds directly into well-drained soil once the soil has warmed and the risk of frost has passed. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and space them 18–24 inches apart in rows spaced 36–48 inches apart. Keep the soil consistently moist during germination, which takes about 7–14 days. Thin seedlings to allow adequate space for the plants to grow.

Early Sowing for Seedlings: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost date using seedling trays and a well-draining potting mix. Maintain temperatures of 70–80°F for optimal germination. Once the seedlings are large enough and outdoor temperatures are stable, harden them off and transplant them 18–24 inches apart in a sunny spot with rich soil.

Harvesting: Green Zebra Giant tomatoes are ready to harvest when they have fully ripened and the skin has turned a yellowish-green color with deep green stripes. Gently twist or cut the fruit from the vine to avoid damaging the plant. Harvest regularly to encourage continuous fruiting, and enjoy the tomatoes fresh or preserved.
