Description of tomato variety Pink Pioneer
Tomato Pink Pioneer from the Japanese company Sakata in Europe has long occupied its niche among the hybrids bred for industrial production. In Russia, the salad variety is known recently. It was entered into the state register of plants two years ago. The novelty of breeding is equally interesting for an amateur summer resident who has a greenhouse, and for a farmer who grows products for sale.
Main characteristics
A high-yielding hybrid, medium-early in terms of fruit ripening. You can expect the first ripe tomatoes 70 days after germination. The bushes are powerful, tall, belong to the group of indeterminate tomatoes.
An important characteristic of any variety is the taste of a ripe tomato; plum fruits have a harmonious, good pulp taste. The fruits are medium in size, the average weight does not exceed 200 g. The manufacturer declared the weight of 220 g. The fruits are stored perfectly, there are no complaints about the loss of presentation during transportation.
Attitude towards diseases is expressed by resistance to the following pathogens:
- nematode;
- brown spot;
- mosaic virus;
- leaf silver virus;
- wilting (verticillous, fusarium).
Description - Sakata's short instructions for the care and cultivation of tomatoes contain recommendations for forming a bush. In greenhouses, tall tomatoes of the indeterminate type are recommended to be formed into one stem.
This scheme facilitates care, eliminates plant thickening, and guarantees good lighting for the entire plant. The taste of the fruit, on well-formed plants, is sweeter due to better light conditions.
Productivity and purpose of use
During the tests, the variety showed a yield of 27.6 kg / m2. When grown in a greenhouse, following good agricultural technology, any summer resident can achieve a similar result.
The pink fruit can be eaten raw, in snacks and salads. The nutritional value of pink pulp increases with heat treatment, so any culinary dishes (soups, sauces) using pink fruits will be beneficial to health. The pulp of the tomato is quite dense, the fruits can be used in the preparation of canned vegetables.
Alternatively, you can use pink tomatoes to make tomato juice. The content of useful elements in the juice is increased, the benefits of such juice in the prevention of oncology are undoubted.
What summer residents say about the variety
The Japanese hybrid is still little studied by Russian summer residents, there are reviews, but rather laconic and contradictory. Perhaps soon Pink Pioneer will be as popular as another tomato hybrid from Japan - Pink Paradise.Summer residents have already appreciated the Pink Paradise variety for the yield and sweet taste of the fruit, and success will certainly come to the new Pink Pioneer hybrid.

Two seasons grew Japanese hybrids of the first reproduction: Pablo, Pink Paradise. I used tomatoes for canning. I liked the hybrids: the care is not difficult, the bushes lend themselves well to formation, the harvest is stable. Today, in addition to these hybrids, I planted Pink Pioneer - a salad hybrid with pink fruits. I was not mistaken with the choice, the fruits ripened early, I will not extol the taste to heaven, but quite tomato. The fruits are mature, very suitable for trading summer residents.
Anastasia, Yekaterinburg
I live in the Urals, due to weather conditions we belong to the zone of risky farming. In order to be less dependent on the vagaries of the weather, they equipped two polycarbonate greenhouses on the site. There are proven varieties that I plant every year, but I do not forget to try new ones. This season has sown two hybrids of Japanese selection. I bought tomato seeds Pink Pioneer F1 and Pink Claire. I liked the Pink Claire hybrid more: the taste is excellent, the fruits did not crack, there were no signs of top rot. Pink tomatoes from the Pink Pioneer hybrid were inferior in taste. In all other respects, the second hybrid also suited me. Will I still plant these varieties until I have decided, winter is ahead, I will still decide.
