Red Zebra Tall Vine Tomato

Nice tall vines, this is a very rare variety with round red tomates that develop lighter golden zebra stripes as they ripen, with a particularly good flavour.

Red Zebra was discovered by Jeff Dawson in the late 1990’s, when he spotted just one different-type plant in his huge field of Green Zebra tomatoes. 

Like all good farmers, he always tried out any unusual plants that chance brought his way, and this one was indeed a lucky find – it still had the great taste of the original, but with a beautiful red-gold colour. After a bit of selection to stabilise it, he first offered the new variety via a seedsavers network in 2003.

A great flavour as well as being very pretty.
