A tomato with an exceptionally rich flavour
Black Zebra is a popular variety among gourmet gardeners. The Black Zebra tomato closely resembles the Green Zebra in size and shape, perfectly round and approximately four to five centimeters in diameter. The skin is purple and mahogany with vertical deep-green streaks, and it has a solid mahogany interior flesh. Its flavor is exceptionally rich and complex with hints of smoke and sweetness, due to its black tomato parentage. Black Zebra tomato plants are indeterminate, as the fruit they produce ripens over an extended period. This variety is vigorous, productive with good disease resistance. They make the best Salsa!
