The ‘German Pink’ tomato is a Bavarian heirloom and one of the two seeds that started it all at Seed Savers Exchange. Its potato leaf plants produce large 1-2 pound beefsteak fruits with very few seeds, a creamy texture, and are crack-resistant. It is an indeterminate variety, continuing to provide a steady harvest throughout the season.
Slow Foods USA Ark of Taste praised its flavor, calling it “a full sweet… even floral.” With gorgeous pink fruit, this heirloom tomato is versatile, excellent for canning and freezing, but also for slicing and juicing. Heirloom, Non-GMO, Open-Pollinated, Organic.
Growing Instructions: Sow seeds indoors ¼" deep. Tomatoes are sensitive to freezing temperatures, so wait to transplant outdoors until the soil is warm—plant in full sun. Water your plants at their base to avoid wetting the leaves, which will foster fungal diseases.
- Start Indoors: 6 weeks before the last frost.
- Germination: 7-14 days.
- Plant Outdoors: 24-36” apart.
- Support: Cage, stake, or trellis.
- Under ideal conditions, they mature in 10-12 weeks from transplant.
