About this variety

Golden fruit marbled pink or red
- Habit: indeterminate, 1.5–2 m tall, needs strong support
- Fruit: 150–300 g, slightly ribbed, glossy
- Colour: golden yellow with pink or red marbling
- Flesh: juicy but firm, low seed content
- Flavour: sweet and fruity with a light tang
Sow 3–6 mm deep in soil at 16–29 °C
Start seed indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Cover it with 3–6 mm of seed-starting mix and keep the soil at 16–29 °C. At 20–30 °C seedlings usually appear in 6–8 days (figure measured with seed sown about 12 mm deep). These are typical values for tomatoes as a species, not a test of this packet.
Planting out and support
Move plants outside after the last frost. Give them well-drained soil at pH 6.0–6.8 and at least 6–8 hours of direct sun. The vine reaches 1.5–2 m, so set strong support at planting. The first ripe fruit comes about 80–85 days after transplanting, counted from planting out rather than from sowing.
What you get
The packet holds 10 seeds of Kozula 83. Tomato seed typically stays usable for 4 years or more when kept cool, dark and dry. We do not state a germination percentage for this packet.
