Tomato 'Chocolate Stripes'
(80 days)
25 seeds $3.00
HomeChocolate Stripes is a beautiful, mahogany-red tomato with olive-green stripes. The fruits weigh 6-8 ounces. The flavor is rich, sweet and earthy (but not muddy). It's one of the tastiest striped tomatoes we have tried - infinitely better than the old Black Zebra.
With a clever name, good looks and excellent flavor, Tomato 'Chocolate Stripes' is destined to be a classic. Bred by John Siegel of Covington, Ohio from a cross of Schimmeig Creg and a pink beefsteak. Introduced to Seed Savers Exchange by Al Anderson of Troy, Ohio in 2007.
