Catalogue of Solanum
lycopersicum
compiled from thirty-five years of breeding work in Ukraine.
This catalogue presents the complete inventory of open-pollinated tomato cultivars curated by the Lazariev family seed collection in Ukraine. Cultivars are organized by morphological category, fruit pigmentation, and growth habit, and cross-referenced with their canonical English heirloom names via Tatiana TOMATObase, Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds, and the Dwarf Tomato Project (Australia/USA).
Each entry includes plant height, fruit weight, fruit form, colour profile, and growth notes preserved from the original Ukrainian source material. Where applicable, cultivar names are also given in Russian transliteration and cultural alternates to support discoverability across Ukrainian, Russian, and English-language audiences.
