Description

The 'Pineapple' tomato is a high-yielding variety known for its large, beefsteak-type fruits that ripen to a vibrant yellow-orange with streaks of red. These 1–2-pound tomatoes are meaty with few seeds and are packed with a complex, low-acid flavor that strikes the perfect balance between sweet and tangy, with a subtle fruity undertone. An excellent slicer, the 'Pineapple' variety thrives in gardens with its tall vines, often reaching 6' or more, and producing bountiful harvests through summer.
