A Wild Boar Farms creation, Pineapple Pig has earned its stripes (no pun intended) as a white tomato that defies the laws of flavour! Where pale tomatoes can sometimes be on the mild and fruity side, Pineapple Pig kicks that fruity flavour up into the tropical zone. Think juicy, sweet, fruity, and a little bit of tang. The fruits themselves are large, flattened beefsteaks. They are creamy yellow with some darker yellow stripes and sometimes a flash of pink at the base. These are perfect for eating raw, or can be used like any other tomato, in soups, tray bakes, and sauces.
Like many of Brad Gates’ varieties, it is more compact than some larger indeterminates, so let it grow two or three leaders.
Indeterminate plants are vigorous plants with a vining tendency.They set their fruits at intervals along their stems, and will readily grow side shoots and suckers (shoots from ground level).They need good, strong support, and it is advisable to remove the majority of the side shoots and suckers unless you have plenty of space and fertile soil to allow them to grow to their full potential.See the guide on pruning indeterminates in the resources section of the website for tips.
Sow Jan-April indoors
