- Kaulini B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5/2/26Pineapple tomato seeds
Our favorite tomato variety! This is our 4th year growing them. Great germination quality and good quality tomatoes.
Which best describes you as a gardener? IntermediateBIBotanical Interests5/3/26Hey Kaulini,
We love to hear Pineapple tomatoes are your favorite variety and that this is your fourth year growing them! Four years of great germination and quality tomatoes - that's exactly what we love to hear from our loyal customers! There's nothing quite like slicing into a fresh Pineapple tomato and tasting that perfect balance of sweetness! Thank you so much for being such a dedicated grower and for sharing your wonderful experience with these fantastic tomatoes! Keep on growing 🌻️
- JaredRated 4 out of 5 stars2/25/26It eludes me
This Tomato continues to vex me. They grow as advertised however if you get lots of rain as I did last season in zone 7a good luck. They look absolutely gorgeous when they change to that orange hue though.
Which best describes you as a gardener? IntermediateBIBotanical Interests2/25/26Hey Jared,
Thank you so much for this honest 4-star review and for sharing your experience with the Pineapple Pole Tomato Seeds! Your feedback about growing challenges in wet conditions is really valuable for other gardeners in zone 7a and similar climates who might be dealing with heavy rainfall seasons.
We totally understand the frustration when these beautiful tomatoes grow exactly as they should but then face weather challenges that are completely out of our control. Excessive rain can definitely create tough growing conditions for many tomato varieties, and it sounds like you experienced that firsthand last season.
But we love that you mentioned how gorgeous they look when they develop that signature orange color! That's exactly what makes Pineapple tomatoes so special - when conditions align, they really are stunning both in the garden and on the plate.
Your experience with the rain challenges will definitely help other gardeners in wet climates think about timing, drainage, or protective growing strategies for their Pineapple tomatoes.
Keep on growing 🌻️
- Kelly J.Verified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 stars9/24/25Great seeds Wrong tomato
I don’t normally grow tomatoes from seeds but I wanted to experiment this year with some different types I don’t normally see. I’am usually a sun kiss cherry girl but I wanted to try some larger tomatoes. I don’t have a lot of space and only seed started four and all of them germinated!! However I only had the space to grow one to maturity.
Like some of the other reviews for 2025 it seems I got “golden jubilee” instead. I hadn’t even realized something was amiss until I saw the other reviews. As a review for golden jubilee I would give a five. Great germination, very prolific, with lovely large round yellow tomatoes. They had a mild flavor with a soft texture reminiscent of early girl tomatoes.
I’ve gotten wrong seeds from other companies, mix ups happen, at least I got a tomato I might’ve wanted to try down the line instead of a weed. I discovered I prefer acidic tomatoes which golden jubilee is not, so will unlikely get those seeds. Will however pick these seeds again to properly try pineapple tomatoes and some other more acidic varieties.

I grew three of these plants this summer, germinated and grew well but realized they are not pineapple tomatoes. I’m pretty sure they are golden jubilees. Round golden yellow fruits. I still enjoyed them but not what I was expecting.

I had a similar experience with these tomatoes as other reviewers. Big yellow balls instead of normal pineapple tomatoes. They were still good. No sure what the issue was
