ZEBRA HEART

Tomato variety "Zebra Heart" is a tall indeterminate plant reaching 1.4 to 1.6 meters in open ground and up to 2 meters in a greenhouse. Plants require mandatory pinching and staking, best grown as two-stemmed for optimal fruit formation. The plant has good foliage and resilience, ensuring a stable and abundant yield throughout the season.

Tomato fruits have a distinctive heart shape with ribbed shoulders, weighing 200 to 400 grams, sometimes up to 600 grams and more. Their coloring is unique: a bright yellow background with contrasting dark red or burgundy stripes, creating a zebra-like effect. The flesh is dense, succulent, rich orange with red streaks, possessing a fatty and jelly-like texture. The fruits have a sweet taste with a slight acidity and a strong aroma, making them especially appealing for fresh consumption, salads, sauces, and canning.

The "Zebra Heart" variety stands out for its high yield and decorative appearance, making it a true ornament of the garden and table. Fruits do not crack even with abundant watering, ripen well, and have good transportability. This mid-season tomato, developed in France by crossing "Coeur de Boeuf" and "Red Zebra" varieties, combines attractive appearance, outstanding taste, and practical cultivation, making it a favorite among gardeners and gourmets.
