Oma's Pink, Heirloom Tomato Seeds

Oma’s Pink, Heirloom Tomato Seeds — The 1943 Heirloom With Thin Skin and Moderately Sweet Flavor

Oma’s Pink is the tomato named for a grandmother — and it carries that warmth in every fruit. Introduced in 1943, this mid-season heirloom produces beautiful dark-pink beefsteak fruits with very thin skin and a moderately sweet, satisfying flavor that makes them exceptional for fresh eating and slicing. Fruits typically weigh between half and a full pound and measure 3–5 inches wide — substantial, beautiful, and deeply satisfying on the plate.

Tall, leafy, indeterminate plants grow up to 6 feet tall and produce generously through the mid-season. An open-pollinated heirloom with genuine heritage character.
