Tomato Characteristics

The plant is indeterminant (tall). A bush can reach an average of up to 2 meters in height. In order for a variety to bring a crop, it is necessary to form it in two, or even three stems.

The leaves of the plant are ordinary, the stem is powerful. Due to unlimited growth, it is necessary to constantly shoot the shoots so that the plant accumulates forces on the formation of fruits. The shape of the tomato "Golden Pineapple" is round with a slight flatness. A tomato stands out for its weight, which on average is in the range of 300-400 grams, but can reach the level of 1 kg.

Unique is the color and taste of the tomato. To taste, the fruit resembles pineapple, which is very attractive. The color scheme is not far behind. The external color of the tomato has a yellow tint with orange tints. Inside it is orange with pink veins. Fresh consumption is the main destination, but you can also cook various juices and sauces. For preservation, the whole tomato is not suitable.

Tomato "Golden Pineapple" is grown in greenhouse conditions. On open ground, it will also grow, but productivity is declining. The return from one bush is 4-5 kg.

Growing tomato "Golden Pineapple"

Greenhouse tomato is grown according to the following planting and care technology:

  1. Plant seeds are sown in February-March. Planting depth should be at the level of 1-3 centimeters, so that the plant had the strength to break through the thickness of the earth.
  2. Seedlings are being planted in late April or early May. It is recommended to place no more than 2-3 plants on one square meter. A tall tomato is rapidly gaining green mass, so it needs space.
  3. As you grow, you need to constantly tie the stem to previously harvested wooden or iron rods. At the same time, do not forget to pinch the shoots. This measure is necessary to maintain maximum yield. Extra green shoots take a lot of power from the plant, so the formation of fruits occurs sluggishly or does not occur at all.
  4. For normal development and growth, water and fertilize the plant. Use humus as a fertilizer. If there is no way to get natural fertilizer, feed with complex additives that contain potassium and phosphorus in their composition.
Important! The Golden Pineapple variety is resistant to major tomato diseases. Therefore, with proper care, you do not need additional treatment of the plant from diseases.

Reviews:

Nadezhda Ivanovna:

I bought one bag of Golden Pineapple seeds out of curiosity. It really hurt to try "overseas tomato" with pineapple flavor. There were 10 seeds in a bag, 9 seeds sprouted surprisingly. All sprouts after transplantation began. Spent a lot of time caring for the plants, but it was worth it. The fruits grew as big as in the picture of the bag. The taste is very reminiscent of pineapple. Fruited plants until the fall. I'm happy with the choice of tomato, I will continue to experiment with planting unusual tomatoes.

Victoria:

The first year with my husband we grow tomatoes in a greenhouse. Having reviewed a large number of tomatoes of the same type, we became interested in the Golden Pineapple variety. Following all the tips and tricks for growing tomatoes, they got an excellent result, as for beginners, 3.5 kg. from one bush. The fruits are very fleshy and juicy. Salads were prepared all summer; a large amount of tomato juice was closed for the winter. The only drawback was their size, it is inconvenient to roll into a jar, therefore, they are not suitable for blockage as a whole.

A rare tomato variety will become an everyday treat on your table in the summer. Constant and painstaking care will live up to expectations, the harvest will certainly please.
