What makes it special?
Puszta Kolosz is a large-fruited beefsteak tomato from Transylvania in Romania. The red, flat-round fruit often weighs 500–1,000 g and has juicy, not mealy flesh.
Its flavour is pleasantly sweet-fruity and classically tomato-like. The vigorous cordon tomato needs plenty of room, a load-bearing support and extra supports for the heavy fruit.
Flavour & Use
Sweet-fruity, juicy and classically tomato-like. For eating fresh, salad, caprese, burgers, sandwiches and sauce.
Fruit & Plant
Very large, red and flat-round to lightly ribbed beefsteak tomatoes. Often around 500–1,000 g; individual fruit can differ depending on growing conditions.
Growing & Care
Plant in a full-sun, warm and, where possible, rain-sheltered spot. Train to one or two shoots, tie in regularly, and support heavy fruit individually. In a pot, use at least 30 litres of soil.

Puszta Kolosz tomato plant – a young plant raised by us
Puszta Kolosz – special features of the variety
Despite its Hungarian-sounding name, Puszta Kolosz comes from Transylvania in Romania, specifically the region around Cluj. The indeterminate plant grows vigorously and produces very large red beefsteak tomatoes. Given the high fruit weight, both the support and fruit supports should be load-bearing from the start.
Fruit, flavour and use
The flat-round to lightly ribbed fruit often reaches around 500 to 1,000 grams. The flesh stays juicy and doesn't turn mealy at good ripeness. Flavour-wise, Puszta Kolosz shows sweet-fruity, classically tomato notes. Thick slices suit salad, caprese, burgers and sandwiches; larger harvests can also be processed into sauce.
Growing in a bed or pot
The variety prefers a full-sun, warm and, where possible, rain-sheltered spot. We recommend one or two main shoots, regular tying in and targeted support for heavy fruit. Even watering reduces growth stress. In a container, plan for at least 30 litres of substrate; a larger vessel makes care easier.
A tomato young plant, raised by us
We raise the Puszta Kolosz tomato plant ourselves at our family business in Illmitz. After shipping, the young plant should first stand in a bright, sheltered spot and be gradually acclimatised to direct sun and wind. It only goes outdoors permanently once no more late frosts are expected.
Absolutely recommended! I’m completely impressed with this chili plant seller. The quality of the plants is outstanding – strong, healthy, and clearly grown with passion and expertise.
The absolute highlight for me, however, was that this seller is one of the few places that offers my all-time favorite variety, the Lemon Drop chili. I’ve finally found a reliable source for this fantastic variety!
Shipping was fast, and the plants were perfectly packaged, so they arrived in excellent condition. I can wholeheartedly recommend this seller to any chili lover looking for top quality and fast delivery. I will definitely be ordering here again!

#1 Spice supplier
Super friendly service when buying chili plants, and the products are truly excellent. My #1 source for heat :) The ultimate compliment came from an Indian colleague who said that with Tschida chili sauces, he can finally enjoy the level of heat he knows from home here in Europe!

Simply top!
Tschida Tschili – where heat and flavor come together in perfect harmony. The chili products are simply outstanding. I love spicy food, but many products just burn your tongue without delivering any real flavor. With Tschida Tschili, it’s completely different. For an experienced palate, everything is very enjoyable. The flavors are perfectly matched to the level of heat, resulting in truly delicious products.
I visit the farm from time to time as part of my culinary tours with groups. What can I say? Jan and his family are simply the perfect hosts – friendly, authentic, and genuinely local. I always really enjoy visiting you!
