Tomato Black Striped Zebra (Solanum lycopersicum)
Tomato Black Striped Zebra is a striking, indeterminate heirloom variety celebrated for its dramatic coloration and robust flavor. Known for its unique blend of dark and striped hues, this tomato is a standout addition to any garden or kitchen. Originally bred from the classic Zebra lineage, this variety is prized for its aesthetic appeal and gourmet quality.
Plant Characteristics
The Tomato Black Striped Zebra is a vigorous and productive indeterminate variety, growing over 1.8 meters in height. It produces medium-sized fruits weighing 150–200 grams each, with a glossy, deep mahogany base marked by green-gold stripes. The fruits are round, firm, and have a smooth, crack-resistant skin, ensuring excellent shelf life and ease of handling.
Flavor and Nutritional Qualities
This variety boasts a bold and complex flavor profile—rich, earthy, and slightly sweet with a tangy finish. Its dense, juicy flesh is perfect for fresh consumption or cooking. Packed with antioxidants such as lycopene and anthocyanins, as well as essential vitamins like A and C, these tomatoes offer both exceptional taste and nutritional benefits.
Cultivation Recommendations
Tomato Black Striped Zebra thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Sow seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost date, maintaining a soil temperature of 21–27°C for optimal germination. Transplant seedlings outdoors once the danger of frost has passed, spacing them 50–60 cm apart. Support the plants with sturdy stakes or cages to manage their vigorous growth. Regular watering, mulching, and light pruning will help maintain healthy plants and maximize yields. Fruits typically mature in 75–80 days after transplanting, producing a steady harvest throughout the season.
Applications and Uses
The vibrant appearance and rich flavor of Tomato Black Striped Zebra make it a versatile choice for salads, sandwiches, and gourmet dishes. Its unique colors add an artistic touch to plates, while its balanced taste enhances sauces, salsas, and soups. The fruits can also be used in preserves or dried for a concentrated burst of flavor.
Packaging and Delivery
Each packet contains fresh, premium-quality seeds, carefully tested for high germination rates. Orders are processed within 1–2 business days, with delivery taking 1–2 weeks, both within India and internationally. The seeds are securely packaged to ensure their freshness and quality during transit.
