488 Yaponka Tomato, 5 Seeds

Variety characteristics:

• 488 Yaponka is a tall Russian tomato variety producing beautiful raspberry-pink, heart-shaped fruits that typically weigh around 10.6 oz. The smooth, fleshy tomatoes have broad shoulders and taper to a pointed tip, with some developing a longer beak-like end. Dense, creamy flesh contains relatively few seeds and delivers a rich, sweet tomato flavor. Vigorous indeterminate vines reach approximately 6 to 6.5 ft and carry clusters of three to five substantial fruits. The tender, meaty harvest is excellent for fresh slicing, salads, sandwiches, tomato juice, and rich sauces. Train the slender vines to one or two main stems and provide sturdy support throughout the season.
