Tomato 'Pink Pioneer'

'Pink Pioneer' tomato is a large, pink beefsteak with a delicious, well-balanced flavor. In a blind taste test, three out of five family members preferred it over 'Brandywine'. This beautiful tomato is crack-resistant and productive. It ripens early for such a large tomato, and the fruits often weigh a pound or more. The plants have potato-leaf foliage.

'Pink Pioneer' tomato was introduced by Diane's Flower Seeds in 2005. Diane obtained the seeds from James M. Irvine, who had grown it for many years, selecting for large size. Mr. Irvine got his seeds from Ron Watts of Kaysville, Utah, who said it was an old Utah heirloom.
