Brandywine Sudduth, Rose, SNFLA, Earl's Faux, SOTW, Marianna's Peace, Dester, etc...are all 9.9's. Aunt Ginny's Purple is my only 9.95, and there is no perfect variety (I think).

Oops, I see now that they are P20 X S. Pimpinelifollium F2
There are three of them growing in cell 51.

I planted 12 more varieties since the list, and will be planting 6 more tomorrow. I'll add those varieties after replying to some PMs.

I'm a little late to the party, here, & haven't grown many pinks, but my favorite was Gregory's Altai. Dry farmed, it tasted very good. Also it was early, large fruited, and LOADED with tomatoes! They all hugged the stem. It was a great plant till it died of wilt, alas. I'll have to get a new pink love...

I've had decent experiences with these larger pink tomatoes:

* Pink Stuffer (not everyone would consider this a slicer, but I do)
* Pink Cheeks
* Old German Pink
* Seek No Further Love Apple (was this dark pink? I don't remember)
* Giant Belgium
* Missouri Pink Love Apple

I'm not sure that all of these are acclimated to your area, but they're nice breeds. I'd probably recommend Pink Cheeks the most. It was the earliest and most productive of those in my garden. It is a soft tomato, though. Old German Pink is the firmest, meatiest and largest of those, in my experience. Well, I guess Pink stuffer was possibly firmer. Seek No Further Love Apple was the second most productive.

Not all tomatoes that people describe as pink look pink to me. But the above did (at least if I'm right about SNFLA).

Caspian Pink is one a lot of people like. I grew it in 2015, but it got a late start (so, I only got end-of-season unripe fruits, and tasted them after they ripened indoors). An associate down the road grew it and loved it.

I loved the taste. It had some acid to it. It wasn't bitter at all. I liked the taste more than Zapotec. It's hard to describe.

I'm thinking Gregori's Altai basically has to be dry farmed. If it gets a lot of rain... this is the single worst splitting tomato I've ever seen. And, there is no taste either, with those splitters.

Them splitters are spitters?
We've decided Gregory is too high maintenance to invite back.
