I'm a seed saver, and tomato seed stored dry and cool is good for at
_least_ 3 or 4 years. Right now, I've got some 11-year-old "green zebra"
tomatoes germinating about 10%, which is pretty low but enough to get a few
plants to save seed from.
Very interesting - particularly the 11 years !!
I have never grown "green zebra" - but I am trying some "Green Envy" for the
first time. I guess I will have to "squeeze" them every day once their orange
neighbours appear to be ready to pick !
