Description

'Ananori' (formerly called 'Pineapple Noire' or 'Black Pineapple Tomato') is a high-yielding, late flesh tomato with green-yellow-orange-red marbled flesh and a juicy, melt-in-your-mouth flavor. The flat-round, slightly ribbed fruits grow up to 200 g in weight. The thin skin and the fully ripe very soft fruits make this excellent tasting variety unsuitable for transport and storage. The plants of this indeterminate variety (up to about 1.60 m) grow very stably, form only a few stingy shoots and can be grown in 1 to 3 shoots. For particularly large fruits, it is recommended to grow the great Gourmet tomato in one shoot. This variety, selected around 1998 in Belgium from the historic pineapple tomato, has become one of the most popular flesh tomatoes among tomato enthusiasts. (From Organic Garden Supplies).

Growing tips

Tomatoes need warm temperatures for germination between 20-25°C/68-77°F. After germination, place in a cooler place (max. 20°C/77°F). If sown before March, there may be a lack of light and poorer growth of the plants. When pricking out, set deeper to the cotyledons so that the plants can form new roots. Harden off before planting out. Fertilize regularly and water evenly. Should be thinned out. Especially tie or fix the main shoot, otherwise it could break off due to the heavy fruits. A location protected from rain is advantageous. Basil (against mildew and whitefly) and Tagetes (against nematodes, viruses, whitefly) have proven to be good companion plantings.
