A Park Seed Exclusive, Park’s Junior Whopper Pink is a hybrid pink cherry tomato. The plant sets round fruits with shiny skins and good coloring, weighing about 1/2 ounce each and having a soft texture. The fruits have a good aroma and a balanced sweet and acidic flavor, with an 8.5 Brix rating, perfect for snacking. Tomatoes are considered a superfood for their nutrient rich content. They are a good source of vitamin C and provide vitamin A and potassium. Tomatoes also contain carotenoid lycopene and beta-carotene as well as phenolic acids and flavonoids.

Usually grown as an annual, Park’s Junior Whopper Pink, an herbaceous tender perennial, is a member of the nightshade family (Solanaceae), which contains plants that typically grow in temperate to tropical regions. A very vigorous, multi-cluster, indeterminate variety, often called a “vining” tomato, Park’s Junior Whopper Pink sets multiple trusses filled with sweet, tasty tomatoes all summer and requires staking or caging for support. Blossoms and fruit continue to develop as the vine grows, so, it bears an impressive amount of fruit over the course of a season.

Tomatoes grow best in sunny locations with moist, humusy, deep, fertile loam. Park’s Junior Whopper Pink is very disease resistant.

A warm-season vegetable, sensitive to cold temperatures and frost, tomato seed should be started indoors about 4 to 6 weeks before transplanting to the garden after all threat of frost has passed. Flowers begin to set fruit with night temperatures between 55° and 75°F. Protect plants with row covers if temperatures are expected to dip below 50°F. Mulching helps to moderate soil temperature and to maintain soil moisture.
