\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> A large, sweet, deep pink beefsteak slicer<\/strong>. There is significant confusion in the seed market between a commercial determinate hybrid version and a soaring indeterminate heirloom strain traded among gardeners, but both produce massive, meaty fruits.

Here is the seed packet description: “Early (105-110 days) slicer type for the open ground and film tunnels. The plant is determinate, sprawling, and reaches 2.3-3 feet (70-90 cm) tall. Requires moderate pruning. Fruits are oblate, deep pink, weighing 7-14 oz (200-400 g), with the first fruits reaching up to 1.1-1.3 lbs (500-600 g).”<\/p>\n

Just so I don’t mislead anyone, the strain I’m growing is an amateur heirloom, and there is a huge difference from the official packet description:
\n1. It is an indeterminate.
\n2. It’s a mid-season variety.
\n3. The fruits are large and they don’t shrink in size on the higher clusters.
\n4. It is best grown pruned to 1 or 2 stems. \ud83c\udf3a\ud83c\udf3a\ud83c\udf3a<\/p>\n

Deep Pink Giant – I really, really loved the taste. Sweet and meaty. The color is a bit distorted in the photo since I took it on my phone. A coworker of mine grew it, and seeing my crazy tomato addiction, she brought me one so I could save the seeds. It grew in her greenhouse and is still happily producing right now. It has a ton of massive fruits, and surprisingly, she doesn’t even tie up the fruit clusters and nothing snaps off!<\/p>\n

I saved the seeds and will definitely try it. I was super confused when I searched online and saw that “Deep Pink Giant” is sold as both an F1 hybrid and an heirloom – how does that work? But she grows hers strictly from saved seeds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

My Deep Pink Giant turned out very tasty and sweet. In the high tunnel, it had a great yield, and the bush height approached 6.5 feet (2 m).<\/p>\n

My Deep Pink Giant was incredibly tall. Growing completely outside, it reached almost 9.8 feet (3 m) in height! It produced steadily from June all the way to October. Super tasty, a great balance of sweetness and tang, not bland at all. I will absolutely grow it again. My seeds were from the Transnistrian Research Institute of Agriculture (*see Editor’s Note*)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
