After learning about the Pink Unicum f1 tomato, many gardeners have decided to grow this exotic fruit. The first thing that attracts everyone is the plant's high yield. The characteristics of the fruit itself are also important. With a regular shape and a pleasant color, the tomatoes are distinguished by excellent taste and consistency. Below is a description of this tomato variety.

Description of tomato

Pink Unicum tomatoes were developed in the Netherlands. Initially, this variety was intended for mass industrial cultivation in large, centrally heated greenhouses. The F1 hybrid was based on high yields with minimal use of synthetic fertilizers. Subsequently, after studying the description of the Unicum Pink variety, private individuals also became interested.

The plant was successfully grown not only in a greenhouse but also outdoors. The ripened fruits were beautiful and appetizing. The tomatoes' flavor was also praised. Today, it is one of the most delicious tomato varieties grown commercially.

The main characteristics of the Pink F1 variety are as follows:

1. The yield is high. The bush has few leaves, so the bulk of the nutrients goes to the fruits. Each bush produces 3-4 tomato clusters, each with 4-6 tomatoes. With proper care, the plant yields up to 17 kg/m² of sown area.
2. The flavor is distinctly tomato-like. The fruits have a pleasant, slightly spicy aroma. The tomato is free of hard fibers and voids. The skin is thin but strong, resisting even strong pressure. This makes Pink tomatoes excellent for transportation.
3. The fruits are round and geometrically perfect. Ripe tomatoes are scarlet with a pink tint. They look great on the table, either whole or sliced ​​into salads. The glossy skin gives the fruits a special appeal. Unikum tomatoes attract almost every customer.
4. The ripening period is average. Typically, it takes about 110-120 days from the moment the seeds are sown until the first fruits appear. After this, the bushes bear fruit for several months, delighting gardeners with a bountiful harvest.

The Unikum F1 variety is suitable for outdoor cultivation, provided there are no significant temperature fluctuations during the day. The plants tolerate drought well if watered thoroughly daily after sunset.

Gardeners' reviews of tomatoes

Nina, 35 years old, Novorossiysk:

"My grandmother has been growing this tomato variety for several years now. The plants are kept in a heated greenhouse. Thanks to this, we harvest from April to October. The tomatoes require constant care, but it's worth it. The average fruit weight is 200-300g, with some reaching up to 600g. At the market, our Pink tomatoes sell out in minutes. Buyers are immediately drawn to the sight of the beautiful, large, pink fruits."

Vladimir, 62 years old, Novocherkassk:

I spend all summer at my dacha, which gives me a lot of free time. I heard about the Unicum tomato variety and decided to start growing them for sale. I was pleasantly surprised by its resistance to disease, sun, and low nighttime temperatures. The bushes produce abundantly, and the fruits are beautiful and delicious. In my first season, I earned enough money just from tomatoes to buy a good tiller. It's an excellent variety, I highly recommend it.

Varvara, 55 years old, Zelenograd:

"I first tried growing Unikum last year. This variety has its pros and cons. On the plus side, the fruits ripen quickly, are delicious, and beautiful. On the downside, the tomatoes grow so large that when ripe, they're only good for juice and other preserves. They're not great for salads."
