It was popularized by a famous forum member, <em>Ninulia<\/em>, who has been saving and distributing its seeds since 2002. It often circulates as &#8220;Rozovye Krupnye from Ninulia&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf3f <strong>Plant Habit:<\/strong> Indeterminate (tall), reaching the ceiling in greenhouses. The plant habit is famously &#8220;wispy&#8221; or spindly\u2014it doesn&#8217;t have dense foliage, which actually helps the fruits get plenty of sunlight. It performs well both in greenhouses and outdoors in open ground, even in cooler, rainy summers.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83c\udf45 <strong>Fruit Characteristics:<\/strong> Massive, slightly ribbed oblate pink beefsteaks. The color is a deep raspberry-pink. Weights typically range from 300g to 700g (10.5 oz to 1.5 lbs), with fruits from megablooms (fasciated flowers) growing even larger.<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udc45 <strong>Flavor &amp; Texture:<\/strong> Highly celebrated for its flavor. Growers describe it as the ultimate &#8220;taste of childhood&#8221; or &#8220;grandma&#8217;s garden tomato.&#8221; It is very juicy, yet incredibly &#8220;meaty&#8221; with a crumbly\/sparkling flesh texture. It offers a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity (with sweetness slightly predominating).<\/li>\n<li>\ud83d\udce6 <strong>Storage:<\/strong> Despite being a huge, juicy pink beefsteak, it has surprisingly thick skin, allowing it to store relatively well after picking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">N<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">Ninulia (Nina) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (39,527 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Southeast Nizhny Novgorod Region, Russia (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p><strong>Rozovye Krupnye (Large Pink)<\/strong> &#8211; I planted seeds this past season saved from 2002. I just really, really love them. I couldn&#8217;t find anything on the Internet under this name. But in one of my tomato books, I found a picture exactly like it. Mine looked exactly like that. Though this year there were practically no deformed fruits grown from megablooms (fasciated flowers). Those are usually the biggest ones.<\/p>\n<p>I think the variety is mid-season, not late\u2014by the first ten days of July, the tomatoes were already quite large on the bushes. They don&#8217;t even fit in one hand \ud83d\ude04 The trusses were full and set fruit without skipping any.<\/p>\n<p>They started ripening at the end of July. And by early August, the entire bottom truss was ripe. The tomatoes are quite large, ranging from 300 to 700 grams (10.5 oz to 1.5 lbs). The flesh is juicy, deep pink, tasty, and has a crumbly\/sparkling texture \ud83d\ude04. I saved seeds from the first trusses in mid-August. And they kept ripening all through September.<\/p>\n<p>The bush is tall, but the leaves don&#8217;t make the bush too dense. Nevertheless, I have to prune them so the fruits get illuminated by the sun. By September, the stems were already directed along the upper trellises, and the tomatoes were just hanging down from the roof. I&#8217;ve been planting this variety for a long time, every single year.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/7\/135-250114074217.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/7\/thumb_135-250114074217.jpeg\" alt=\"Huge pink tomato filling the palm of a hand\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/7\/135-250114075632.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/7\/thumb_135-250114075632.jpeg\" alt=\"Massive truss of Rozovye Krupnye tomatoes\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/7\/135-250114094035.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/7\/thumb_135-250114094035.jpeg\" alt=\"Meaty sparkling flesh of the pink tomato\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">T<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">trofi (Elena) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (10,715 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd South Moscow Region, Russia (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Ninul, when do you sow them for seedlings? \ud83c\udf38<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"forum-post\">\n<div class=\"author-header\">\n<div class=\"forum-avatar\">O<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-meta\">\n<div class=\"author-name\">o-lya-lya (Olga) <span class=\"author-stats\">\u2b50 Pro Grower (9,962 posts)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-geo\">\ud83d\udccd Northeast Moscow Region, Russia (USDA Zone 4)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<p>Ninulia, thank you so much for such a wonderful tomato! \ud83c\udf38\ud83c\udf38\ud83c\udf38 I&#8217;m thinking of sowing it around February 20th, will that be okay?
