Red Pineapple
A beautiful looking pineapple and more cold hardy than others. As the fruit develops it is brilliant red and each segment of the young fruit produces a vivid purple flower.
The flesh is sweet and juicy, pink-yellow in colour. The fruits weigh about one kilo each. Size - Up to a metre tall. Pollination - Fruits are formed without pollination.
The redness of the fruit gradually fades as it matures. It is not edible until every trace of red has gone and the skin is pale yellow. But, like any pineapple, you can smell the powerful sweet aroma when it’s ready to cut.
The red pineapples are a very hardy variety. Fruit consists of whole cluster of fruitlets from the many flowers. As the fruitlets mature they fuse to form a single pineapple with a fibrous stem running through the middle. The skin is tough and waxy, red in colour.
