Italian Pink Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
Hardy pink heirloom tomato, heavy yields, exceptional flavor.
Voici une tomate rose foncée qui trouve son origine dans le Bas-du-Fleuve Saint-Laurent, plus spécifiquement à Rivière-du-Loup. Les semences proviennent de Madame Francine Mailloux. Elle en a remis à Monsieur René Paquet, qui en a ensuite fait cadeau à Michel Richard du Potager d’Antan, lequel me les a transmises. Et vous les aurez bientôt dans votre jardin !
This is a dark pink tomato originating from the Lower St. Lawrence region, more specifically from Rivière-du-Loup. The seeds come from Mrs. Francine Mailloux. She gave them to Mr. René Paquet, who then passed them on to Michel Richard of Potager d’Antan, who in turn passed them on to me. And soon, you will have them in your garden! Described as a “hardy” plant by René Paquet, he adds that this indeterminate variety produces a “high yield” with fruits featuring red skin and pink flesh. These typically weigh between 400 and 850 grams, but some specimens may exceed this range.

**CARE AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:** Gradually acclimate the plants to outdoor conditions about 10 days before planting by placing them outside during the day. When planting, lay the plants horizontally while gently bending the stem so that the leaves point upward.
