It produces large, ribbed, slightly flattened orange fruits with a delicate pink blush. The flesh is meaty and juicy, sweet and virtually free of acidity. This is a mid-early variety with indeterminate growth, intended primarily for growing under cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e indeterminate tomato\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFruit:\u003c\/strong\u003e large, ribbed, slightly flattened, orange with a pink blush\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSowing under cover:\u003c\/strong\u003e March – early April\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTransplanting:\u003c\/strong\u003e from early May under cover, after May 15–20 outdoors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e July – September\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e sunny and warm, ideally in a greenhouse or polytunnel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e moderate\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSeeds per packet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eWhat makes this variety special\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis variety is descended from the well-known Ananas tomato, but ripens earlier. This makes it a good choice for areas with shorter growing seasons – including most of Poland. The fruits start to ripen roughly 2.5 months after transplanting the seedlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts greatest asset is its flavor: sweet and mild, with no tart notes, and a flesh that is both meaty and juicy. The pink coloring extends into the fruit, so a slice looks two-toned when cut. This is a tomato for anyone looking for something different from the classic red supermarket variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eGrowing step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eSowing (March–April, under cover):\u003c\/strong\u003e Sow seeds from mid-March to early April, about 6–8 weeks before the planned transplanting date, at a depth of approx. 0.5–1 cm. Keep the growing medium slightly moist and the temperature steady at 20–25°C (ideally around 24°C). Germination takes 7–10 days. Once the seedlings emerge, they need as much light as possible – on a windowsill, a south-facing window or supplemental lighting works well; otherwise, the plants will quickly become leggy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003ePricking out:\u003c\/strong\u003e When the seedlings develop 2–4 true leaves, transplant them individually into pots 8–10 cm in diameter, planting them a little deeper than they were growing before. Keep the seedlings in a bright spot at 15–20°C and water moderately but regularly. Start hardening them off 7–10 days before transplanting by placing them outdoors for a few hours each day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eTransplanting (May):\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant seedlings in a greenhouse or unheated polytunnel from early May, and outdoors after May 15–20, once the risk of frost has passed. Space plants approx. 50 cm apart in rows, with 100 cm between rows. Bury the stem considerably deeper than it was in the pot – the tomato will grow additional roots along it. Insert a stake or attach a string for training straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Train the plants to one or two stems and regularly remove the side shoots (so-called suckers) growing in the leaf axils – this directs the plant’s energy into fruit rather than foliage. Water at the base of the plant without wetting the leaves, as tomatoes are susceptible to late blight. Remove the lower leaves so they do not touch the soil, and use mulch to retain moisture and prevent soil from splashing onto the leaves. Tomatoes like soil rich in organic matter and potassium, so they respond well to compost and organic fertilizers for fruiting vegetables. The large fruits are heavy, so it is worth supporting the trusses. Pinch out the growing tip at a height of approx. 1.8–2 m so the last fruits have time to ripen before autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eUses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts sweet, non-acidic flesh makes Pamplemousse du Grand-Père best enjoyed \u003cstrong\u003eraw\u003c\/strong\u003e – cut into thick slices with olive oil and salt, in \u003cstrong\u003esalads\u003c\/strong\u003e or on \u003cstrong\u003esandwiches\u003c\/strong\u003e.
