\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Pink Sweet<\/strong> is an indeterminate, mid-to-late season heirloom slicer originating from Tazewell, Tennessee (preserved via seed saver Dale Thurber). It produces beefy, raspberry-pink, flat-round fruits ranging from 5 oz to over 1 lb (150-450 g+) with almost no seeds and an intense, memorable sweetness. Growers in USDA Zones 4 through 6 praise its exceptional dessert flavor, noting that late fall fruits keep their deep sugar profile even when ripened off the vine indoors.

Vigorous, tall plant with dark green foliage and an extended harvest window. Massive, deep crimson-pink, uniform fruits that taste downright incredible. Sweet, aromatic, and packed with solid meat with hardly any seeds. Beautiful raspberry interior. The flavor and aroma completely blew me away.<\/p>\n

Got my seeds from Dale Thurber, huge props to him for sharing these! \ud83d\ude4f\ud83d\ude4f\ud83d\ude4f<\/p>\n

Dale’s Variety Description:<\/strong>
\nOriginally surfaced back in 1990 as an unnamed pink family heirloom from Hazel Turner in Tazewell, Tennessee, who got it from an 84-year-old gentleman who had been growing it for 20 years. Since it had no official name and was an exceptionally sweet pink tomato, it was dubbed ‘Pink Sweet’. Slightly flattened beefsteaks averaging 1 lb (450 g) and up. Fabulous, memorable, deeply sweet flavor. Indet, regular leaf vines deliver heavy yields starting around 85 days. Tennessee heirloom. Vigorous plants need sturdy staking. Has a rich, sweet fragrance that really stands apart from other varieties.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Grew Pink Sweet this season with seeds sourced from Valdis. Absolutely loved the flavor. Truly sweet, rich taste. Even now in October, the counter-ripened ones brought inside still taste remarkably rich and sugary.<\/p>\n

Yield was about average for me because fruit set was stubborn early in the season. But once summer hit its stride, the vine kicked into overdrive and loaded up a ton of fruit right up against the greenhouse roof. Still have slicers hanging out there right now, stripping the rest in a couple of days. Fruit size ran on the moderate side for me, roughly 5-10 oz (150-300 g).<\/p>\n

Definitely putting this on next year’s grow list. Didn’t snap any photos for some reason.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Pink Sweet. Indeterminate vine. Fruits are dark pink, oblate, mid-sized slicers around 5-10 oz (150-300 g). Seriously top-tier eating quality with an unmistakable sugar kick. \ud83d\ude0b<\/p>\n
