Johnson’s German Pink

Johnson’s German Pink excels in high humidity, excessive heat, low light, early planting, and robust and durable with modest size, indeterminate viny plants. Fruits crack free, offering balanced flavor of sweet and sour, noticeably fragrant, and enticing sliced texture with less acidic juice. Grown by Southern German Mennonites, from Ohio, Virginia, and the Carolina’s. Said to be eaten’ in public in 1820 by Robert Johnson, proving it wasn’t toxic. A famed parent of "Radiator Charlie's Mortgage Lifter." Johnson’s German Pink quality shines through a blemish and crack free, transparent, symmetrical pink rose, creamy magenta, and purple skin. Fruit tones of color uncommon with other pink types, and have a fuzzy eye-catching ripple exterior improves harvest and storage potential. Commercial pinks are just acidic, gelatin, watery flavored, bred for disease resistance. Johnson is a name with character. Ripples on shoulders shed water in open field, and make insect boring more difficult for the fruit eating worms. Johnson’s German Pink is described as a beefsteak, and compares with Brandywine, but contrary to these descriptions, is completely unique, easy to grow, and compels a rich humorous history complimenting savory sweet taste.
