Doug,
these varieties of Czech tomatoes are assigned with these names in catalogue EU. I know only, that they are shopped with this names for example in Estonia. The names of trees, vegetables, etc. never translate to Czech language (only Russian are writing in roman characters). 99% Czech gardeners plant only Czech tomatoes (generally F1), because these varieties are best adapted to weather and the all other in ČR. I planted only two foreign varieties –Bonset F1 (Dutch) and Hellperle (DDR) for 45 year.
I don´t know Poland, Belarus,.....
I wish a nice evening Vladimír
