Pink Boar

Granite26 · July 22, 2012

A couple of my Pink Boar. I think these are beautiful toms. They seem to grow out blemish free which is great! I will have to report back on flavor this year.

I have become a new fan of the pictures of the stripped tomatoes... those look really nice, hope you will share a cut pictures along with taste results.

I just picked my first pink boar today too!! Such a pretty tomato, mine has a bit of fluting around the top and it looks picture perfect. Not sure how to tell when it's ripe for eating?

Its too bad my son is colorblind, he could not see any striping at all on it! What a shame. It's a really pretty one.

I love this variety! Mine grows out as a little heart shape, with the typical striping. I wonder if others have experienced this. I know one plant can put out different shapes, but the seed I've saved over the last few years always comes out this way. We really enjoy them!

Mine grow out heart shaped too. Well there is a mix of round and heart shaped. I have photos of it posted in the photo area.

Lovely pictures!

I hope I get my Pink Boar to ripen this year, so I can post pictures at TOMATObase. I only have a few green fruits (perfectly round) on my plants, perhaps 3-4 weeks away from ripening.
