The period from germination to fruiting is 103-109 days. Determinate plants, moderately branching, 50-70 cm (20-27 inches) tall. Tomatoes are round, smooth, weighing 70-110 g (2.5-4 oz), very uniform. The taste qualities are excellent. Recommended for fresh consumption, home processing, and canning. The fruits do not overripen quickly on the bushes and transport well. A variety with a concentrated, uniform harvest; yield is 5-6 kg per sq. meter.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In principle, I agree with the description, EXCEPT for the maturity timeline! I specifically highlighted it: the stated period is from germination to <em>fruiting<\/em>! Add the time it actually takes for them to ripen and&#8230; voila \ud83d\ude03 the variety turns out to be mid-season! Now <em>that<\/em> I agree with \ud83c\udf38<\/p>\n<p>Now about the taste: I liked this little tomato very much. Tender, meaty, sweet flesh. There are not many seeds, and they are located closer to the outer walls in very small seed locules. I also really liked the shape of the fruits\u2014round, but slightly shaped like a little barrel, with a slight &#8220;beak&#8221; (point) on the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>This variety is definitely staying in my permanent collection! \ud83c\udf38<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/132\/2191-160716125903.jpeg\" alt=\"Pink Early Ripener tomato plant loaded with fruit\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/148\/2191-051016081026.jpeg\" alt=\"Sliced Skorospelka Rozovaya showing meaty walls\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomat-pomidor.com\/uploads\/newforum\/galleries\/148\/2191-051016081101.jpeg\" alt=\"Pink slightly barrel shaped tomatoes\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quick Summary of Pink Early Ripener (Skorospelka Rozovaya) \ud83c\udf0d Origin &amp; Name: A commercial Russian variety.
