Overview
Pineapple is an open-pollinated heirloom beefsteak with big fruit of one to two pounds and about five inches across, yellow-orange streaked with red on the outside and marbled through the meaty, low-acid flesh. Seeds are few and the texture is smooth. Plants are indeterminate with potato-leaf foliage and grow tall, so stake or cage them firmly. Consistent watering reduces cracking on such large fruit, and light pruning of suckers improves airflow. A main-season variety for gardeners who want a showy, mild bicolor slicer.
