Default Kozula's Crosses

The best known breeder and crosser of tomatoes in Poland is Anna Kozula, who has been producing her own varieties for five years, although she started out as a typical market grower with stable varieties. In her own words, She chanced into breeding, when a friend of hers brought a tomato, which was of an "amateur" variety, but tasty , beautyful and productive enough to warrant a market "experiment". There were 3 seedlings, from which seeds were taken, for this was thought to be a stable variety. 4 tunnels were planted, but.... total disaster. A strange mix of horned ones, including determinates and dwarves. In spite of the look most of the tomatoes were sold, because they found buyers because of their flavour. She decided to improve them by crossing and selection, and that has been going on for 5 years now with some improvement of the result along the road.
Now she has become a master of crossing, and her seeds were distributed to many different people, including me. Like she says herself, her market growing is different from everyone else's, because each plant is different (unique).
Most of her crosses were between "American" and Polish varieties, and I may post a complete list later.
