Your Favorite Pink Tomato? - Page 2

wildcat62 · January 6, 2017

My best pink year in and year out is German Queen. It will always have a spot in our garden.

Gardeneer · January 6, 2017

I will be growing Brandywine Sudduth (Heir )and Brandy Boy (hyb).

Crnkovic Yugoslavian and Rebel Yell are superb.

charline · January 6, 2017

Russian Rose is one of the best!
I grow also always Dester but this one is a little late.

German Queen is my best performer also.

I've never met a "Pink" tomato I didn't like. My current database shows more than 100 varieties. But, my favorites from the last couple of years are:

Pappy's Dream
Rebel Yell
Brandywine Pink (From a commercial plant I purchased. Really large fruits, lots of fruits, Mid season ripe)
African Queen
German Queen
A half dozen dwarfs
Two more I'm Working on.

Terhune was awesome the year I grew it.

cloz · January 6, 2017

Stump of the World has always had great taste and good production in my garden.

Rebel Yell, Brandywine From Croatia, but I think Rebel Yell is the one I would grow between the two. Did great for me the last two seasons.

chiefbeaz · January 6, 2017

Cleota Pink is my favorite. Besides being an Tennessee heirloom, it has several traits that appeal to me.

It does have a good taste
Can grow very large, my record is 3 pounds, average size is 1 1/2 pounds
Good production
No CORE !!!!!!!!

Rebel Yell is getting a lot of attention. I would imagine many of you have already seen/read this link http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Rebel_Yell

For us last year, Rebel Yell grew large plants with good sized tomatoes. It grew that way in a RKN infested garden.

Bradley is another we are probably going to grow this year. The year we grew Bradley was a record setting rainfall year. It still produced well even with almost every day rain. It grew Semi Determinate for us. The downside was a short shelf life.

Cole_Robbie · January 6, 2017

Bradley is delicious, every bit as tasty as Rebel Yell. It's another reddish pink that I forget is pink.

AlittleSalt · January 6, 2017

In my seed binder on the same page as Bradley, I found a pack of seeds that says Brandy Boy - OP - F 11 - 2014 Pink PL. So I looked it up http://tatianastomatobase.com/wiki/Brandy_Boy

Variety type de-hybridized

I also looked up the hybrid form. It looks and sounds like a good pink tomato.

Caspian Pink did well here, and was absolutely delicious! It produced far earlier than I had expected for a beefsteak (first one ripened 68 days after planting out; estimated DTM is 80). Others might know how well it tolerates heat, since it originated in a cold climate. Then again, we endured a month-long heatwave in July in the Northeast; some blossoms dropped, but the Caspian Pink plant didn't fare as badly as, say, Cherokee Purple or German Striped.

The large pink hearts are my favourite pinks.
Ludmilla's pink heart is wonderful, so is Anna Russian
