Green Zebra is a tomato cultivar with dark green and yellow line characteristics. The newer variations are reddish instead of yellow when ripe. This is more tart (described as 'spicy' and 'zingy') than ordinary tomatoes, and it is the earliest cultivar. Compared with other varieties of tomatoes, it can produce somewhat chewy fruits depending on growth conditions.
Green Zebra was raised by Tom Wagner from Everett, Washington, and was introduced in the Tater-Mater Seed Catalog in 1983. He first came up with an idea in the 1950s. Usually green tomatoes are considered raw and removed or fried. However, Wagner is interested in the idea of ​​green tomatoes ready to eat.
There is some controversy about whether Green Zebra should be regarded as a tomato heirloom. Some people have not regarded it as an heirloom, while others consider it an heirloom, "modern heirloom" or "created an heirloom".

Define maturity
Since the original color of this tomato is green it is difficult to say when it is ripe. There are three main ways to describe when Green Zebra tomatoes are ready to eat. First, one can understand the tomatoes gently to feel his firmness. Secondly, one can know by looking at when the green Zebra green line turns yellow. Third, one can see when the bottom of the yellow line begins to change color to red. Each of these stages is a different stage of maturation, so we have to decide which stage of maturity is preferred.
