Overview
Pink Delicious gives you the look and taste of an old pink beefsteak on a plant with modern hybrid disease resistance and reliable germination. Fruit averages around 11 ounces with meaty flesh and a sweet-acid balance that trial judges singled out for flavor, and brix runs higher than average. This Bayer Seminis hybrid took a 2022 AAS regional award. Vines are indeterminate and reach about six feet, so plan on a tall stake or cage; pruning is optional. Give plants roughly three feet of space and standard watering. Resistances include tomato mosaic virus, Verticillium, and several leaf-spot pathogens. First ripe fruit arrives about 84 days after transplanting.
