'Green Zebra' is a beauty, with exquisite emerald green skin, dark green vertical stripes, and gently flavorful green flesh. It's actually the result of 4 heirlooms being bred together. It has a flavor all its own and its appearance is truly unique. Ready to be eaten fresh, or, by canning, enjoyed year-round. High-yielding indeterminate plants produce oodles of 1 1/2 - 2 1/2" fruits.
