Brief Description: The Hawaiian Pineapple Tomato is renowned for its large, vibrant fruits that display a beautiful blend of yellow and red hues, creating an eye-catching streaked appearance. These beefsteak-type tomatoes are not only attractive but also offer a rich, tropical flavour with hints of pineapple, making them incredibly unique.

Hawaiian Pineapple is a favourite among gardeners for its flavour and striking appearance.
How to Plant: Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Plant your Hawaiian Pineapple Tomato plants at the same depth they were in their containers, spacing them about 75-90 cm apart to ensure they have enough space to develop fully and receive adequate sunlight.
General Plant Care: Support the plants with stakes or cages as they grow quite tall and produce large, heavy fruits. Regular watering and feeding are essential for promoting healthy growth and maximizing fruit production.
Lighting Requirements: Requires full sun, needing at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily, to thrive and produce the best quality fruits.
Water Requirements: Water deeply and consistently to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, particularly during dry periods and when fruits are developing.
Organic Feeding Suggestions: Feed with a high-potassium organic fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to encourage robust growth and fruitful harvests.
Tips, Hints or Tricks for a Successful Plant: Mulching can help retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and maintain stable soil temperatures. Regularly check for pests and diseases, and manage them promptly to keep the plants healthy.
