Characteristics and description of the Kosovo tomato variety
Among the varieties of tomatoes there are those whose fruits can be large. These plants include the Kosovo tomato. The name came about because an American living in New Zealand visited Yugoslavia. In Kosovo, he collected tomato seeds and named the variety where he acquired them, passing them on to a collector.
