Tomato Pineapple Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perSolanum lycopersicum
Pineapple is a striking heirloom beefsteak tomato producing large fruits that ripen to bright golden yellow streaked and marbled with red. Sliced open, the flesh often shows the same beautiful blend of yellow, orange and red, giving each fruit a distinctive appearance.
The large, meaty tomatoes have a rich, sweet and fruity flavour with relatively low acidity. Excellent for fresh eating, they are particularly impressive sliced into salads, sandwiches and platters. Despite the name, Pineapple refers to the fruit's colourful appearance and fruity character rather than an actual pineapple flavour.
Plants are vigorous, high yielding and indeterminate, continuing to produce their substantial beefsteak fruits over an extended season. Strong staking or trellising is recommended to support the vines and weight of the developing crop.
Seed count: approximately 250–400 seeds per gram. Approximately 40 seeds per packet.
