Tomato, Orange pineapple
Solanum lycopersicum
The tomato "Orange pineapple" is one of our favorite varieties for both taste and appearance. Its flesh is clearly reminiscent of a pineapple slice, with a firm texture, great juiciness, remarkable sweetness and unrivalled flavor. It lends itself particularly well to salads. A late variety, it generally produces fruits weighing around 300 grams.
Growing instructions
Sow in early March into seedling trays in a warm place. Transfer to pots when about 5 cm high. Transplant into the field from May 20 at a distance of 60 ✕ 60 cm. Tie up to stakes or trellis strings. Also break some side branches to promote full fruiting. Protection from rain is recommended.
