German Pink Tomato – MIg

Description

German Pink Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a beautiful heirloom variety known for its large, meaty, pink fruits and rich, well-balanced flavor. The fruits have a smooth texture, low acidity, and juicy flesh, making them excellent for fresh slicing, salads, sandwiches, and sauces.

• Space plants approximately 60–75 cm apart.
• Provide a strong stake, cage, or trellis to support the vigorous plants and heavy fruit.
