The tall tomato Pink Rise F1 is the result of special selection for the selection of valuable traits. The characteristics of this tomato make it possible to consider it one of the best modern hybrids in many respects: appetizing pink color of smooth fruits, 100% ovary in any conditions, high and stable yields, comprehensive disease resistance.
Pink dream
In the era of globalization, there are no borders or distances for vegetable growers. Pink Rise F1 seeds are supplied to Russia from the French branch of the Japanese company Sakata, and the name of this hybrid tomato variety translated from English means “Pink Rise”.
For many years, leading seed corporations have been funding work with tomatoes to combine beautiful pink color, sweet taste, and disease resistance in one variety. The result was a whole series of hybrid Pink and Rose tomatoes, different in weight and ripening time: Pink Rise F1, Pink Paradise F1, Pink Lady F1, Rosaliza F1, Starrose F1, Pink Spam F1, Pink Dream F1, Pink F1, Rosebeef F1, Beef Pink Brandy F1 and others.
In this row, the Pink Rise F1 tomato is one of the most productive. Since 2007, the variety has been registered in the State Seed Register. Recommended for any greenhouses in all regions of Russia.
Main features
Pink Rise F1 tomatoes are hybrid, so it makes no sense to collect your own seeds from them; you need to buy bags again every year. Genuine seeds are quite expensive, but it more than pays for itself by the end of the season.
Fruit
A remarkable achievement of selection is the intense pink color of the Pink Rise F1 fruits both outside and inside. The glossy skin of the tomato has a pearly sheen. The color is uniform, without a greenish spot at the place where the stalk is attached. The shape of the tomatoes is almost perfectly round, slightly flattened at the top. The surface is smooth, sometimes with small smoothed ribs.
The tomatoes are a little like artificial ones - they are so smooth, almost the same size. Not too large, but not small either - from 180 to 220 grams, with a minimum deviation from the standard weight of 200 grams.
They do not become smaller in the upper brushes, they are the same within each brush. The shape, color, size of the tomato - all this creates an ideal presentation and gives aesthetic pleasure.
The taste is the best among hybrid tomatoes.Of course, the pulp is not as sugary as that of large-fruited non-hybrid varieties, but very pleasant, with a predominance of sweetness. The consistency is quite dense, but not “rubbery”. Juiciness is moderate. The purpose of tomatoes is mainly salad.
The fruits are not prone to cracking. The elastic skin and strong pulp allow the Pink Rise F1 hybrid to successfully withstand long-term transportation and not rot during storage. This quality is good for personal use and truly invaluable for market sales. Combined with external beauty, the result is an ideal product for trading fresh vegetable products. You can harvest and sell whole clusters; the tomatoes ripen in them at the same time.
Greenhouse bushes
Pink Rise F1 tomato plants stand out for their special quality and powerful leaf apparatus, which works intensively for the harvest. The bush is indeterminate, with continuous growth, without self-limitation in height. It is pinched when the greenhouse ceiling is reached or a month before the end of the season. The stem requires a strong garter. There is no need to attach each tomato bunch separately; there are no creases.
Despite the rather dense bush, the Pink Rise hybrid is able to withstand even a slightly thickened planting - 60x40 cm, but only in greenhouses with an ideal climate - without dampness, with good lighting and ventilation; intensive feeding will also be required. This is more suitable for industrial greenhouses.
In greenhouses, amateur vegetable growers are not recommended to place more than three tomato roots per square meter. Pink Rise F1 is grown strictly in one stem, removing all the stepsons, otherwise a jungle will form without a normal harvest.
Harvest
The description of the hybrid variety Pink Rise F1 in the State Register mentions its yield at 5.3 kg per square meter. As a rule, the actual harvest from such an area is an order of magnitude greater: one and a half to two buckets of tomatoes. They depend little on the weather outside the greenhouse and are stable over the years. This hybrid is valued by many gardeners for such reliability.
In terms of ripening time, Pink Rise F1 belongs to the category of mid-ripening. The ripening of the first fruits begins 95–100 days after emergence. Mass yield of the crop occurs from 115 to 120 days. In a good greenhouse, fruiting can be very long, like other tall tomatoes.
From the photo of the bush and reviews of the Pink Rise F1 tomato, you can understand the reason for its popularity among amateur vegetable growers: the plants are hung with spectacular fruits. Having tested this hybrid, greenhouse owners are satisfied with both the quantity and quality of tomatoes. However, it is rightly noted that a decent tomato harvest is a consequence of proper care (regular feeding, watering, pinching).
The result of selection for endurance
Tomato Pink Rise F1 is genetically targeted at resistance to the difficult microclimate of the greenhouse and resistance to harmful infections.
Since tomatoes come from tropical America, in our latitudes they like the warmth of closed ground. But excessive heat, large differences in day and night temperatures, lack of breeze - all this leads to poor pollination. In critical situations, the fruits do not set or turn out to be ugly.
The problem can be solved in two ways:
- establishing cross ventilation;
- planting specially bred hybrids.
Pink Rise F1 tomatoes are just capable of successfully setting fruit in extreme temperatures. This does not mean that they do not need a breeze.These tomatoes are always prepared for the worst, but hope for the best, realizing their full potential under optimal conditions.
The main scourge of amateur tomato greenhouses is aggressive infections. Sometimes they take away almost the entire tomato crop, negating financial and labor costs. For breeders, task No. 1 is to obtain resistant plants. Unfortunately, complete resistance to late blight does not yet exist, but the Pink Rise F1 hybrid is relatively hardy even to this scourge. And in general it is not affected by brown spot (cladosporiosis) - the next most harmful disease after late blight. In addition, the variety rarely suffers from gray rot. Not susceptible to fusarium and verticillium wilt, tobacco mosaic virus, and root nematodes.
Based on all the characteristics, the Pink Rise F1 tomato is one of the best greenhouse hybrids. It bears fruit successfully only with increased nutrition and timely formation. The experience of vegetable growers shows that in open ground the returns are significantly lower.
