PINK TOMATO

DAC596 · February 3, 2016

What is a good pink slicer tomato? Looking to grow a pink tomato, 8-12 oz. Size in a 5 gal. Container. What do you suggest?

brimmer, prudens purple, limbaughs

Earls Faux, Grosse Cotelee and Mortgage Lifter are some other good ones. You could also try Kosovo or German Head. Many good choices are out there.

This is the one for me.
I cant count how many I am going to grow this year.
New Big Dwarf.

If I lived in the northern US, I would have to try Brandywine Pink just by all I've read about it.

I haven't found a pink tomato I don't like so far.

Worth, you read my mind, because after my first post, I thought, NBD, great for a bucket.

NBD is a great tasting tomato!

New Big Dwarf has been around since 1915 and is one heck of a plant and tomato.
It is also the inspiration for the Dwarf project.

8-12 0z. Momotaro, or Eva Purple Ball, very similar to each other in looks and taste, Momotaro is a hybrid, EPB is open pollinated. I grow both. They look pink to me anyway, not purple as the name EPB may suggest. LOL

I have done quite a bit of search/study on NBD in the past 8 months and have decided to grow it in pots this year. It seems to me that it is a good choice for container/pot growing. It is short compact and productive. I will grow 2 or 3 NBD myself . I have already sowed seeds 3 weeks ahead of the rest of varieties . it grows at a slower rate.

Why not try some of the dwarfs, though you won't be disappointed with NBD. I have grown Rosella Crimson, Dwarf Arctic Rose, Yukon Quest, and Sweet Adelaide, and like them all.

A slight caveat about New Big Dwarf: i have a note that Craig LeHoullier says it seems to be quite disease prone. Of course, that's in NC.

I'm doing a couple of New Big Dwarfs this year. Is a 5 or 7 gallon pot good? I was on the fence with Momotaro, now I need it too.

No problem as long as you give it support, supplemental nutrients and TLC.
