Check the expected mature size, feel for slight softness, and look for any color changes characteristic of the cultivar.

Follow the specific variety's ripeness guidance rather than relying on color alone.
Yes, green-fruited tomatoes can grow in containers when the cultivar is suitable for the available space. Choose a large pot with drainage holes, use fertile potting mix, provide at least 6–8 hours of sunlight, and support vining plants with a sturdy cage or stake.
Some tomato cultivars are bred to remain green when fully ripe and are not expected to turn red. If your plants are a green-when-ripe variety, check fruit maturity by its expected size, texture, and cultivar-specific color changes. If the variety should turn red, cool temperatures, excessive heat, or other growing stresses may affect ripening.
