About this variety

Fruit and plant
- Indeterminate vine that needs staking or a cage
- Heart-shaped fruit, usually 300–600 g
- Smooth skin, red with a golden marbled pattern
- Dense, juicy flesh with few seeds and a small seed cavity, suited to slicing, sandwiches and sauce
Sow into soil at 16–29 °C
Tomato seed germinates well when the soil stays in its optimum range of 16–29 °C. At 20–30 °C seedlings typically appear in 6–8 days. Indoors, cover the seed with 3–6 mm of seed-starting mix. These figures are typical for the species, not a test of this packet.
Growing on
Sow indoors 6–8 weeks before your last frost and plant out after the risk of frost has passed, 50–60 cm apart so air moves between plants. Stake early: fruit of 300–600 g pulls an unsupported vine down. Grow in full sun in well-drained, fertile soil and mulch to keep moisture even. Light pruning keeps the vine manageable.
When to expect fruit
Fruit ripens about 75–85 days after transplanting.
What you get
One packet of 10 seeds of Kozula 228. Tomato seed typically stays usable for 4 years or more when kept cool, dark and dry, so seed you do not sow this season can wait for the next.
FAQ
Why does Kozula 228 need strong support?
Single fruits weigh 300–600 g, so a vine carrying several of them bends or breaks without a stake or cage set at planting.
What is Kozula 228 used for?
The dense flesh with few seeds slices cleanly for sandwiches and salads and cooks down into thick sauce.
