Description
For those wanting a twist on the classic, meet the "Green Zebra" Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). This lively cultivar sports striking green stripes over a brighter green base, offering a tangy, zesty flavour punch. Medium in size and slightly firmer in texture, the "Green Zebra" adds a dash of the unexpected to salads and dishes that'll have guests guessing and wanting more.
Plant your "Green Zebra" in a spacious pot with a premium potting mix or introduce it to a vege/herb garden with a top-notch soil conditioner. When Djilba (early spring) rolls around, show them some love with a tomato-rich fertiliser. These zebras might not roam, but they do love a sun-drenched spot and consistent watering, especially as Bunuru (late summer) heats things up. After about 75-80 days, when their unique colour pattern is in full display, it's time for the harvest. And while they might be wild at heart, a little staking will help them stand tall and show off those distinctive stripes.
