IS this one also called Black Pineapple? If so, I grew this a couple years ago. It's one that I'll give a second chance to for sure, but I don't think it liked our hot/humid summer. Yours is gorgeous though!
@@8thcelisabeth I probably won't re-try this year. I remember it struggling here through summer and not producing much--spoiling quickly. Gorgeous though, can't remember the taste.
I grew these in Minnesota in planter boxes last summer and they went nuts. Were extremely hardy and lots of fruit. Did just as well as my Cherokee Purple's and Mortgage Lifters. We has 30+ 90-100 degree days last summer and they had about 8+ hours of direct sun per day. I watered every day as well.

Sure is! I'll be curious what you think. I only have room for 100 tomato plants, so it didn't make the cut for 2024.

Is that heirloom? Do you have seeds?
