One of the most prolific and vigorous tomatoes we have ever grown, Ege Pink 50 impressed us with its crack-free pinkish red fruits even when the rainy season peaked.
Oblate and ribbed fruits have very good, mild flavor and are less meaty than many other varieties we steward on our farm. They are great for stuffing recipes, drying and in salads. Fruit skin is thin and dissolves in mouth. Plants have big canopy and need strong trellis system.
Packet has min. 20 seeds

- Growing tips: Start in seedling trays in seed starting soil that has essential nutrients in it 6-8 weeks prior to last frost. Barely cover the seeds with soil and keep the soil moist for quick germination. Make sure to keep the young seedlings under good light to have strong plants with sturdy, healthy stems and leaves. Transplant after last frost in well-drained, fertile soil. Feed with liquid fertilizer once every two weeks. Water regularly especially in flower stage. Mulch and always water at plant base to minimize disease. Trellis indeterminate varieties with long vines and prune leaves if the plant canopy becomes too thick for improved air circulation.
