Xanadu Green Goddess (Xanadu Green Goddess) — rare variety green tomato seeds
🍅 Xanadu Green Goddess (Xanadu Green Goddess) — rare variety green tomato seeds
The name Xanadu comes from the legendary summer residence of Emperor Kublai Khan, Shangdu, which in Western culture has become a symbol of a paradise garden — a place of abundance, beauty, and harmony. Xanadu Green Goddess is a green tomato with a refined, sweet flavor — a true Green Goddess from a paradise garden that, at full ripeness, delights with aroma and a beautifully balanced taste.
This is a tomato that offers both visual pleasure and an exceptional taste experience.
The Xanadu Green Goddess tomato is a modern, high-quality green tomato variety originating from amateur breeding in the USA. It belongs to the green-when-ripe tomato group — the fruits remain greenish-yellow even when fully ripe, while developing a rich, nuanced flavor.
This variety is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for unusual and rare tomato seeds with high flavor quality and very decorative fruits. Xanadu Green Goddess is especially well suited for greenhouse growing in Northern Europe, but with proper care it also grows successfully in Southern European gardens.

🌱 Growing Xanadu Green Goddess tomatoes from seeds
Northern Europe
Sowing time: mid-March – early April
• When growing tomato seedlings from seeds, avoid cold conditions (such as uninsulated windowsills) and excessive watering
• Lack of light, especially during early seedling emergence, leads to elongated, weak plants with poor immunity
• The use of grow lights is recommended if natural light is insufficient or if seedlings cannot be grown in a heated greenhouse
• Proper sowing and cultivation of tomato seeds reduces later greenhouse work and results in healthier plants that are largely resistant to rot
Southern Europe
Sowing time: late February – early March
• Growing principles are similar to Northern Europe, with special attention to moisture and heat control
Sowing depth: 0.5–1 cm
Substrate: fine-textured peat or tomato seed-starting mix
Germination temperature: 22–26 °C
Lighting: 14–16 hours per day
🌿 Seedling care
• Seedlings are pricked out when 1–2 true leaves appear
• Plants are set deep — up to the cotyledons — to encourage a strong root system
• Young tomatoes should be watered evenly, avoiding sudden moisture fluctuations in the soil
• It is recommended to train the plant with 1–2 stems — when grown with a single stem, fruits develop larger
• Side shoots should be removed during the cooler part of the day to prevent sun damage
• Good ventilation must be ensured in the greenhouse
• Before transplanting, seedlings should be hardened off gradually
🌞 Growing tomatoes in a greenhouse and in the garden
Northern Europe — greenhouse
• Stable warmth and even moisture promote healthy plants and help avoid common tomato problems
• The soil must not be allowed to dry out completely, and overheating the greenhouse should be avoided, as flowers may drop and yields may become very low or fail altogether
• This variety can also be grown in containers on terraces or balconies, provided there is good support and shelter from wind; in Northern Europe, a warm summer is especially important
Southern Europe — garden
• Sun enhances fruit sweetness and aroma
• Mulching and drip irrigation are recommended
• During the hottest periods, 20–40% shading is advisable
• Prolonged heat may cause flower drop
🌱 Fertilizing tomatoes
• Potassium — for sweetness and fruit color
• Calcium — for firm, high-quality tomato flesh
• Nitrogen — use moderately and carefully; excess leads to excessive vegetative growth and side shoots, with energy going into leaves rather than fruit
🍽 Factors influencing flavor development
Sun increases sweetness and aroma, even soil moisture helps prevent fruit cracking, while gentle temperature fluctuations during ripening — warm days and cooler nights — make the flavor more pronounced and sweeter.
