Grade description
These are pink tomatoes. They do not have an axial stem, however, it is often taken for it to be a series of consecutive shoots, or just the stem that has the first inflorescence.

But in the lowest fruits, the ribbing is more intense than in the upper ones. Fruits weigh from 250 to 450 grams.

This variety belongs to salad versions, but tasty juices, pastes, sauces and seasonings are also obtained from tomatoes. But, if a presentation is required, tomatoes should be added with intense red color, otherwise the products will not attract buyers because of the pale shade.
Proper care
- Improper watering during the growth period negatively affects the plant. If moisture is not enough, the plant tries to take care of the seeds, and therefore begins to get rid of the reproductive part, which is especially in need of nutrition. This process ends with the dropping of flowers and an already formed ovary. There is a rapid ripening of fruits that have already started.
- Be sure to tie up the bush, providing support, and competently carry out its formation. For better management, experienced vegetable growers choose 2 to 3 shoots, not more, but you need to monitor the density of planting so that thickening does not occur.
- Since tomato crops prefer heat, it is better to brandy pink before growing seedlings. Usually sowing seeds occurs in the beginning - mid-March.
- When several real leaves appeared, seedlings are dived. For this, cups must be prepared in advance, the capacity of which is 200/250 gr. You can immediately use a special primer for seedlings, already containing all the necessary nutritional ingredients, or you can periodically feed the plant.
- It is very important that there is a developed and deep root system, and transplantation is carried out only on the condition that the roots have mastered a completely earthen lump.
- Planting density should be no more than 3 bushes per square meter. You need to remove stepchildren and dry leaves on the lower part in time, then air circulation occurs, and the plant will not be susceptible to fungal diseases.
