Why We Love It:

‘Green Zebra’ stands out for both its appearance and flavour, producing eye-catching green fruits with golden striping and a refreshing, slightly sharp taste. It’s a reliable cropper with a long harvesting window, making it a favourite for home growers looking to grow something beyond the traditional red tomato. Perfect for salads and summer dishes, it adds colour and contrast to the plate.

Sowing & Growing Tips:

• 
  
  When to Plant: Plant outdoors after the last frost (typically from May onwards)


• 
  
  Where to Grow: Sunny, sheltered spot or under cover in a greenhouse


• 
  
  Spacing: 45–60cm apart

  Care Notes: Support with canes or stakes, pinch out side shoots regularly, and feed weekly once flowering begins to encourage strong yields

The Nunhead Gardener Recommends:

Grow alongside basil for a classic pairing that enhances flavour and helps deter pests. ‘Green Zebra’ is particularly well-suited to grow bags and large pots, making it ideal for balconies and compact South London gardens. Harvest when fruits are slightly soft with a golden hue for the best flavour.
