Red Zebra tomato plant – a young plant raised by us
Red Zebra – special features of the variety
Red Zebra is a strikingly striped cordon tomato, also sold under that English name. Its medium-sized fruit ripens red to red-orange and keeps yellow stripes. The plant reaches around 1.8 metres and, compared to strongly branching varieties, produces relatively few side shoots.
Fruit, flavour and use
The round to lightly flattened fruit usually weighs around 80 to 120 grams. Its flavour is fruity, spicy and pleasantly tart, with less sweetness than typical snacking tomatoes. Red Zebra suits salads, a light lunch, sandwiches and the grill. With green or yellow varieties, it creates a clear colour contrast.
Growing in a bed or pot
A warm, full-sun and rain-sheltered spot is especially recommended in wetter regions. The plant is trained to one or two shoots on a sturdy support and tied in regularly. In a container, use at least 20 litres of soil and water evenly.
A tomato young plant, raised by us
We raise the Red Zebra tomato plant ourselves at our family business in Illmitz. After shipping, the young plant should first stand in a bright, sheltered spot and be gradually acclimatised to direct sun and wind. It only goes outdoors permanently once no more late frosts are expected.
Absolutely recommended! I’m completely impressed with this chili plant seller. The quality of the plants is outstanding – strong, healthy, and clearly grown with passion and expertise.
The absolute highlight for me, however, was that this seller is one of the few places that offers my all-time favorite variety, the Lemon Drop chili. I’ve finally found a reliable source for this fantastic variety!
Shipping was fast, and the plants were perfectly packaged, so they arrived in excellent condition. I can wholeheartedly recommend this seller to any chili lover looking for top quality and fast delivery. I will definitely be ordering here again!

longterm customer
I’ve been buying my chili powder from the Tschida family for years, and it’s the best you can get. The family is always very friendly and helpful as well. I can wholeheartedly recommend their products to everyone.

#1 Spice supplier
Super friendly service when buying chili plants, and the products are truly excellent. My #1 source for heat :) The ultimate compliment came from an Indian colleague who said that with Tschida chili sauces, he can finally enjoy the level of heat he knows from home here in Europe!

Simply top!
Tschida Tschili – where heat and flavor come together in perfect harmony. The chili products are simply outstanding. I love spicy food, but many products just burn your tongue without delivering any real flavor. With Tschida Tschili, it’s completely different. For an experienced palate, everything is very enjoyable. The flavors are perfectly matched to the level of heat, resulting in truly delicious products.
I visit the farm from time to time as part of my culinary tours with groups. What can I say? Jan and his family are simply the perfect hosts – friendly, authentic, and genuinely local. I always really enjoy visiting you!
