Overview
Pink Girl is a 1984 Petoseed hybrid slicer that ripens deep pink outside with red flesh within. Fruit are deeply oblate and smooth, close to 8 oz, and carry a green shoulder before they color up. The plants are large and indeterminate, so give them a tall stake or cage and prune modestly. Its resistance package covers Verticillium race 1, Alternaria stem canker, Fusarium race 1 and gray leaf spot, which makes it a lower-risk choice for beds where wilts have shown up before. Expect the first ripe fruit roughly 76 days after transplanting.
