SKU: GP-THca
The Caspian Pink Tomato has an awesome flavor. Many tomato connoisseurs prefer the taste to that of the Brandywine Tomato. It is said to be mild, yet sweet. It is a large, meaty and succulent fruit; therefore the Caspian Pink lends itself well to slicing for garnish or sandwiches. It is somewhat flatter (less rounded) than many tomato varieties which provides a larger surface area for uniformly sized slices. The Caspian Pink was one of our most popular Heirloom Tomato Plants last year. Sold Out for the 2009 season You can earn 2 Rewards Points on this product!
