Experience the rich heritage and distinct taste of the Lycopersicon lycopersicum 'German Pink' tomato, a Bavarian heirloom and a cornerstone of the heirloom movement in America. Originally brought to the U.S. by Michael Ott in 1883, this variety has been cherished for its generous yield and beauty. With luxurious potato-leaf plants producing 1- to 2-pound beefsteak fruits, these nearly seedless tomatoes boast a creamy texture and are crack-resistant, making them both a gardener's and chef's delight.

Praised by the prestigious Slow Foods USA Ark of Taste for its "full sweet flavor, even floral, and...tender skinned," the 'German Pink' tomato is incredibly versatile. Perfect for canning, freezing, slicing, or juicing, it promises to become a favorite in any garden. As an indeterminate variety, it provides a steady harvest throughout the growing season, ensuring that your kitchen is always stocked with fresh produce.

Cultivate your 'German Pink' with ease; it thrives in a sunny location with 6-8 hours of direct sunlight and requires simple support structures for its bountiful, heavy fruits. Optimal for temperatures between 75-95°F and with a growth period of 85-90 days, these tomatoes are not frost hardy but are perfect for a summer yield.
