The flesh has a very delicate color, and the stripes are just gorgeous. My fruit weights were around 7 to 12.3 oz (200-350 g). The description claimed it could hit 1.7 lbs (800 g), but to be fair, I planted it late in the season and grew it outdoors in the dirt.<\/p>\n<p><em>Edited January 17, 2015 by Drosera<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments\/56461_766183b59bc0a6ca80f395d26c2dda56eda37b8b.jpg\" alt=\"Large striped Zebra tomato held in hand\" width=\"1392\" height=\"1044\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/attachments\/56463_63f6afe1ed4f7658c91414d38ccc90dfda2b0be6.jpg\" alt=\"Sliced Zebra tomato showing delicate bicolor flesh\" width=\"1312\" height=\"984\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"editor-note\" style=\"background: #eef7ff; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #2196F3; margin-top: 15px; font-size: 1.2em;\"><strong>\ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83c\udf3e Editor&#8217;s Note: Which &#8220;Zebra&#8221; is this?<\/strong><br \/>\nIn the American heirloom community, if you just say &#8220;Zebra,&#8221; most people immediately think of Tom Wagner&#8217;s famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/en\/green-zebra\/\"><strong>Green Zebra<\/strong><\/a>.
