The average weight of ripe tomatoes is 400-500 g. Some successful farmers have also grown fruits weighing up to 1 kg. If the inflorescence is actively forming, the fruit can reach a weight of 2 kg. If you follow all the rules for care, then from 1 sq. m it is possible to collect almost 16 kg of the crop. The color of the fruit is predominantly pink.

Growing rules
It is permissible to plant seeds in open ground only in the southern regions of the country, in other parts of the country, seedlings should be used.
To begin with, the seeds are placed in a saline solution to get rid of the infertile, after that they are thoroughly washed with water and dipped in a manganese solution, then placed in separate containers.
Several seeds must be planted in 1 container at once: this will increase the chances of germination.
Seedlings should be fed every 14 days. It is very important to alternate organic and mineral fertilizers.
Seedlings suitable for planting have at least 4 formed leaves. When growing a Pink Giant tomato, you should pay attention to the planting structure. The distance between the bushes is 70 cm. The seedlings are placed in the hole to a depth of formed cotyledon leaves.
Before and after planting, each hole should be watered with water at room temperature.To prevent night frosts from disrupting the development of the bush, it is recommended to cover all rows with agrofibre.
An important stage in the development of a plant is hardening. For this purpose, it is necessary to ventilate the greenhouse every day so that the temperature in it is not higher than 15 ° C. Airing should last about 2 hours, after which all door and window openings should be closed.
Care
- Tomatoes The pink giant loves moisture very much. Watering should be carried out at the very root. Ideal if moisture will not get on the leaves.
- Top dressing should be carried out throughout the season. It is best to alternate organic and mineral fertilizers. It is especially important to carry out top dressing at the beginning of the active formation of ovaries and inflorescences.
- It is also very important to timely loosen the soil, because a large amount of moisture can create a crust on the surface, which will prevent oxygen from entering the root system.
- Do not forget about the need to form several stems. Each farmer determines the quantity independently. A large number of stems can increase the number of fruits, while reducing their size. Accordingly, 1 stem forms a small number of fruits, but they are all large in size.
- In order to retain moisture in the soil for a longer amount of time, it is recommended to mulch the inter-row space. For these purposes, it is recommended to use humus straw or wood ash. This will allow moisture to be retained and no crust will form on the soil surface.
Diseases and pests
According to the description, the plant has a strong immune system. However, sometimes the Pink Giant tomato can be affected by fungal diseases. The main reason for such an event is improper care. Fungal infections occur in a greenhouse if the plant does not receive the required amount of oxygen.
This type of tomato is susceptible to the Colorado potato beetle, aphid or tick. To get rid of these parasites, special chemicals must be used. Best of all, Regent, Fofatox, Tabbu or Araks will help in pest control. Spraying with chemicals should be done a few days before installing the irrigation.
