Tomato, Green Zebra
Product Description: (Solanum lycopersicum) Introduced in 1983 by Tom Wagner of Washington State, Green Zebra offers a stunning striped green skin that ripens to yellow. Crack resistance was among the primary traits bred into this variety. The flesh is slightly tart, making it great for fresh eating and canning. High-yielding plants grow up to 40 inches and bear fruit 1.5 - 2.5 inches in diameter. Indeterminate. Open-pollinated. 50 seeds per packet.
Growing Information: Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before your expected last frost. Transplant after all danger of frost has passed. Keep plants staked or trellised to allow for adequate airflow. Always water plants at the base to limit disease pressure and splash dispersal. Ripe fruit will turn yellow, keeping their dark green stripes. Prefers full sun. 75 days to maturity.
How To Save Tomato Seeds
Slice open ripe tomatoes and squeeze the gel-like seed sacs into a clean glass jar with a small amount of water. Cover the container with cheesecloth and secure with a rubber band. Place the jar aside for the seeds to ferment at room temperature for three days.
This fermentation process kills many pathogens and also breaks down the tough seed coatings that inhibit germination. Once mold covers the entire surface, scrape this layer off and discard it. Pour the remaining seeds into a wire mesh strainer and rinse until clean. Dry thoroughly and store in an airtight container.
