Tomato variety "Ananasovy Korol" is a tall indeterminate plant with a strong bush, reaching about two meters in height in a greenhouse. For successful cultivation, it requires staking and regular pinching, ideally forming the bush into one or two stems. This mid-late variety is distinguished by high yield and disease resistance, making it a reliable choice for gardeners.
The fruits are large, flat-round with distinct ribs near the stem, weighing from 400 to 1200 grams. Their coloration is two-toned: orange-pink with maroon streaks, giving them an attractive appearance. The flesh is sweet, tender, and juicy, with numerous medium-sized seed chambers. The flavor is rich and balanced between sweetness and acidity, with a distinct aroma reminiscent of classic childhood tomato flavor. The fruits are suitable for fresh consumption as well as for making thick tomato juice.
Despite its many advantages, the variety is prone to double-flowered blooms, which sometimes results in deformed fruits. To maintain fruit quality, it is recommended to form clusters with no more than three fruits to avoid fruit drop due to weight. "Ananasovy Korol" is a family heirloom from the state of Indiana, USA, and rightfully enjoys popularity among lovers of large, flavorful tomatoes.
