Tomato variety Pink Paradise (F1)

The Japanese company Sakata is well known in the world as a supplier of seed material. Currently, its task is to develop the Russian market. The company's specialists carefully study the preferences of the gardeners of our country in order to make them the most interesting proposals. For example, it turned out that consumers in Russia and Japan prefer pink-fruited tomatoes, in contrast to America, where they prefer red-fruited species. Given the consumer demand, Sakata has applied for the registration of Pink Paradise. This variety was included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation in 2007 and received admission in all regions of the country. Recommended for growing in open ground and under film shelters in personal subsidiary plots. It is a hybrid, therefore the seeds must be marked F1.

The inflorescence is of a simple type. The first fruit cluster is formed above the 7th leaf. Each fruit cluster of Pink Paradise contains from 3 to 6 ovaries.

The combination of flavor, color and internal structure makes this species the leader in the pink-fruited tomato market.

Agrotechnics

Pink pardize is grown in seedlings. I would like to note right away that, according to reviews, the seeds from the originator of the variety sprout very well, they are processed by Tiram, so you can sow them right away. The timing of sowing tomato seeds is best calculated independently, the main thing is that the seedlings are 2 months old by the expected planting period. Seedlings are grown in the usual way. The recommended greenhouse density is 4 pieces per 1 square meter. A garter is required. In order for the culture to show the best result, the manufacturer recommends forming the plant into 1 stem, removing all stepchildren. The height must be limited by pinching. When cultivated in a greenhouse, a manual pollination process should be carried out by shaking the bush with flower brushes. Pollination-assisting chemicals are most commonly used in large greenhouse complexes. The rest of the agricultural technology is common.

Pink Paradise Hybrid can be used commercially, because its taste is highly appreciated by consumers. The advantage is a strong immunity, which allows you to reduce the number of preventive spraying, and good tying. Cultivation of a culture is complicated by the need to tie and pinch the bush, but such care is inherent in all tall tomatoes, so we will attribute this to the peculiarities of cultivation. Cons - possible difficulties when growing the variety outdoors in regions with cool climates, as well as the need to buy seed material annually. Another caveat - the producer (Sakata) produces bags with a large amount of seeds, which is very convenient for those involved in the cultivation of tomatoes for sale. And ordinary gardeners buy seed from other domestic seed companies and often complain about misgrading. In order not to get upset because of possible failures, try to purchase seed through domestic firms that cooperate with the manufacturer - Sady Rossii, Tvoy Sad, Agro-SOS.
