Description
Green Zebra is a salad tomato with a full, strong flavour and a pleasantly strong acidity. The fruits are green-yellow flamed when ripe. The yield potential is good and, with a fruit weight of 120 g, the variety is ideal for varied salads. The plant is compact and has medium vigour. Protected cultivation under an overhanging roof or in a greenhouse is recommended. Green Zebra is a proven variety in nurseries with a rarity assortment. It should be regularly thinned out and tied up. A sufficient supply of nutrients increases the yield. Our historical varieties were selected for performance, health and flavour in ‘covered field cultivation’ with a low fertiliser level and without additional irrigation.
