Kozula 96

Note: The following description was provided by Google AI. The Kozula 96 tomato is a striking, highly sought-after modern heirloom variety bred by the famous Polish tomato geneticist Anna Jankowska (widely known as "Kozula"). It is celebrated among rare seed collectors for its vibrant bicolor visual appeal and deeply satisfying flavor profile. • Fruit Appearance: It typically produces large beefsteak or slightly elongated heart-shaped fruits weighing anywhere from 6 to 18 ounces (approx. 180–500 grams). The skin is a glowing golden-yellow or red-orange marbled with prominent streaks of deep red and gold rays. • Flavor & Texture: Slicing it open reveals exceptionally dense, meaty flesh with minimal seed cavities and very low gel. The taste is bold, rich, and well-balanced—combining natural sweetness with a deep, savory old-school tomato backbone. • Growth Habit: This is an indeterminate variety, meaning the vines grow tall (often reaching up to 2 meters) and require strong staking or trellising to support their heavy yields. It features regular foliage. • Maturity & Performance: As a mid-season producer, it begins ripening fruits in mid-to-late summer. It is known for its resilience and excellent fruit-setting capabilities, even during unfavorable or erratic weather conditions, continuing to produce right until the first autumn frost. • Genetic Lineage: Kozula 96 was stabilized from a complex cross of (Beeforange Ff x Orange Straw) x Big Zebra
