Description
The "Pineapple" Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a tropical treat right in your backyard, and no, we're not mixing fruits here! This delightful cultivar boasts large, bi-coloured tomatoes that merge yellow and red hues, creating a stunning visual feast. With a flavour as vibrant as its looks, the "Pineapple" offers a sweet, fruity bite with a hint of tanginess, ensuring each slice is a burst of sun-ripened bliss.
Ready for your own fruitful slice of paradise? Dive into gardening with a premium quality potting mix for those container plants or enrich your garden beds with a top-tier soil conditioner. A tomato-specific fertiliser come Djilba (early spring) ensures these beauties get the best start. Typically, around 85-95 days from planting, they'll signal their readiness with their radiant hues. Now, these tomatoes like to stand tall and proud, so some staking might be in order to help them reach their peak. Keep them quenched, especially during Bunuru (late summer), and in no time, you'll be saying "Aloha" to a juicy harvest!
