Pineapple is a late-season yellow-fleshed traditional English nectarine. It ripens in early - mid-August, roughly around the same time as Victoria plums.
It gets its name from its strong tropical flavour, which is somewhat reminscent of a pineapple. It is very sweet, but with the characteristic tang of a good peach or nectarine.
All pot-grown trees are suitable for planting out in the garden, some are suitable for growing in containers.
