New! Improved late blight-resistant pink slicer.
Reminiscent of the best pink heirlooms, but thoughtfully bred for healthier plants, fewer defects, and higher marketable yields. Wonderfully balanced flavor—sweet and acidic with a juicy texture. Compared to Damsel, more tolerant to blossom end rot and less shoulder cracking. Similar to Martha Washington, but with late blight resistance. Fruits avg. 7–10 oz. Bred by Emily Rose Haga at Johnny's. Indeterminate. USDA Certified Organic.
Disease Resistance:
• Late Blight (High)
• Nematodes (High)

SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Solanum lycopersicum
DETERMINATE (BUSH):
Varieties do not need pruning and may be grown with or without support; fruit ripens within a concentrated time period.
INDETERMINATE (CLIMBING):
Varieties should be staked, trellised, or caged, and pruned for best results; fruit ripens over an extended period.
CULTURE:
Medium-rich soil with pH 6.0–6.8 preferred. Fertilize accurately since excess nitrogen causes rampant growth, rot, and delayed ripening. For short determinates, succession-plant every 4–6 weeks. Tomatoes typically germinate in 5–7 days.
