They’re pale green like other unripe tomatoes but have dark green stripes. The pale green starts to turn a little yellow when they’re ripe. For some reason last 2 years I’ve had a hard time finding the plants. I planted my Green Zebra this year weeks after I planted the others. Last year the same.

Honestly, that looks like a Mr Stripy that I grow? I also grow Brandywines and they’re red, but maybe there are other varieties of Brandywine.

Was wondering if it was fully ripe, but it was feeling soft on the edges. Only got one pink brandywine last year and it had a different look.
