Thank you for taking a look and confirming my fears. I also thought it didn’t look pink at all. The camera conveys the color well. At least, the color on the monitor and the tomato right next to it look identical to me.
And the weight, yes, it’s from megablooms, I don’t remove them, but this is the first time I have such freaks. And the bush is very powerful.
I liked it because it is meaty and sweet. Grew in a small greenhouse. It grew to almost 2m (6.5 ft)! This is absolutely not a determinate variety. Yield (average per bush) — 3.2 kg (7 lbs).
Seeds were from SibSad.

Try saving seeds from a fruit with a proper shape. This year, due to sharp temperature swings, my fruits also came in all sorts of weird shapes (I removed the megablooms), but towards the end of the season, the shape evened out into proper hearts. My mom called some of the fruits “buns” because of their shape))) “These buns are very tasty and meaty” )))
And this is what grew for me from “Ural Dachnik” seeds 😢 Not pink at all….
The pink hearts have quite a good taste. I will keep it in mind if it happens that there is extra space left in the greenhouse.

Pink Honey’s bush is not powerful in the slightest.

Mine never grew taller than 1.5m (5 ft), even in the greenhouse.
The variety left contradictory impressions. Large (500-800g / 1.1 – 1.7 lbs) meaty pink hearts. Productive. The bush is rather wispy/flimsy. Indeterminate. Prone to cracking.
Taste: those that ripened on the bush were quite alright; those that were ripened off the vine indoors were nothing, tasted like grass. Seeds were from neighbors.
My Pink Honey grew tall in the cold frame (1.5-2 meters / 5-6.5 ft). The bush has a flimsy structure, but at the same time is productive. I really liked the taste of the fruits. They were sweet and quite juicy.
In the greenhouse — definitely not a determinate, but flimsy. Beautiful, tasty, large. Ripened the very first.
My favorite! 👍 Very tasty, especially when very, very ripe! 😋 I’ve planted it everywhere and in every way. Used to plant it in a cold frame, it was about 70 cm (2.3 ft). In the greenhouse, it didn’t pass 120 cm (4 ft). The yield isn’t off the charts for me, but it’s not average either. I wish I had more, like our Lidochka gets.
Angelina has a Pink Honey that is an oblate (flat-round) indeterminate. Has anyone planted that version? 😳
My Pink Honey was from SibSad — pink hearts as it should be, matched the description and photo perfectly. Grew outdoors, the yield was average, but the summer was brutal too 🤦♀️. I liked the taste, sweet 😋. The only problem with this variety is green shoulders, apparently it needs more potassium than other varieties. I will definitely plant it again.
It has permanently moved into my garden. No green shoulders, doesn’t crack, sweet outdoors, huge yield, 5-7 kg (11-15 lbs) per bush.
Most likely the problem (green shoulders) is not the variety, but my soil. Not enough potassium.
My seeds were from SibSad. The fruits are tasty, but it turned out to have a low yield. I don’t know whether to repeat it next year or skip it. I probably won’t sow it; I have many untried, very worthy varieties left to try.
