Pink CherryWine

We have a new cherry tomato called Pink CherryWine

Very productive. Good shelf life.

The two tomatoes on the right in the photo are Pink CherryWine.

looks lovely. Waiting to grow one now... my dad just asked me if there were any ripe tomatoes yesterday. sadly enough I don't think he will manage to hang on long enough to taste this one.

I hope he hangs on, and I hope you enjoy all the time you have left together.

Is Pink Cherrywine OP or hybrid? (Love your hybrids!)

Pink CherryWine is a hybrid. Glad you like the hybrids!

A pair of additional questions... (I did read the description at your web site). How large Pink CherryWine? How does it do with splitting. For instance, for me, Madera splits a little, but nothing like most OP varieties or SunGold. I grow cherry tomatoes in soil, so I can't control the rains.

With regard to splitting, Pink CherryWine is better than Madera. Definitely better than most cherry tomatoes.

Pink CherryWine is also larger than Madera. Maybe slightly larger than Black Cherry, but not much.

Sounds like a real winner! I'll order promptly!

We Tasted the first fruit from my Pink Cherrywine plant today. Yummy Tangy- sweet firm and meaty bright pink fruits in clusters . Plant is healthy and vigorous despite our crazy spring weather this year.
Great one Fred!

I've been meaning to post accolades for Pink Cherrywine. It has really done well here in 5b, and they are delicious. I actually think I like them slightly better than Madera. No cracking or splitting, whereas Madera had some minor splitting. Love the large size. Definitely a keeper!
