Details
Pineapple is an heirloom garden favorite from Kentucky that grows to 2 lbs. This bi-colored, slightly flattened, yellow beefsteak has red blushing and streaks on the outside. Its yellow interior contains few seeds and a red star-burst in the center. The taste is wonderfully mild with tropical fruity-sweet flavors. This is a show stopper!
