(Solanum lycopersicum)
85 days. Open polinated Heirloom. Indeterm.
This is another one of those fantastically flavored, large (often over 1 lb.), sometimes cosmetically challenged heirlooms that helped to start the heirloom craze. Pineapple is famous for its sweet, juicey, fruity, low acid flavor that wins many taste contests and keeps you checking the vine for ripe tomatoes every day. It has unique yellow with red mottled coloring. When I want to impress a visitor with the flavor and beauty of heirlooms, I pick them a pineapple! Very popular. From Kentucky.
Germinated at 84% on 12/23/11.

Cultural Requirements:

| Soil: | | Adaptable. Tomatoes need phosphorous, potasium, and calcium more than nitrogen. Bone meal is ideal. Excess nitrogen causes large plants with fewer, later fruits. |
|
| Propagation / Germination: | | Start seeds indoors 5 to 6 weeks before last frost. Keep soil lightly moist, not wet. 77 degrees is sideal, but anywhere from 60 to 85 degrees will work okay. |
|
| Sun: | | Full sun. |
|
| Water: | | Water weekly if necessary. Tomatoes appreciate mulch, but wait until soil has warmed and plants are growing rapidly. |
