Description

Shipping & Delivery

Classic pink heirloom that tolerates high heat and humidity and is resistant to cracking. Balanced sweet/tart flavor. Indeterminate. Days to maturity: 85

Tomatoes love hot days and cool nights. For the best tomato harvest:

Growing conditions

Fertile, well-drained soil
Soil pH of 6.0-6.8
Moderate to high levels of potassium (P) and potash (K)
Transplant when daytime temperatures reach 70�F and night time temperatures are above 55�F
Average spacing: 12-18" between plants in rows 36-48" apart.

Harvest

For storage and shipping, harvest when the blossom end turns pink.
For fresh market harvest when color develops but fruits are still firm.

Storage

Store ripe tomatoes at 45-50�F and 90-95% relative humidity.
Hold mature-green tomatoes for ripening at 65-70�F.

Pest and Disease Prevention

Avoid overhead irrigation
Practice crop rotations with all Solanceae species
Staking and orienting rows to increase air circulation can aid in disease prevention.

Notes:

Deep, infrequent watering encourages deep rooting and higher quality fruit production
Indeterminate varieties should be staked, caged, or trellised to obtain best yields and to prevent disease
