Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Ananas Noire is an heirloom tomato that grows best in full sun with nutrient-rich, well-draining soil and consistent watering. Provide support such as stakes or cages, as plants produce large fruit and have long vines.
When to Grow
Start seeds indoors 6-10 weeks before your region’s last frost date. Transplant outdoors once the danger of frost has passed and the soil has warmed. Temperatures should consistently stay above 60 F. Check local frost dates to plan sowing.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow seeds indoors 1/8 inch deep in moist, well-draining seed-starting mix. Maintain a temperature of 70-80 F for germination. Harden off seedlings gradually before planting outdoors. Space transplants about 24 inches apart, using sturdy stakes or cages for support.
How to Grow
Plant in fertile soil amended with compost or organic matter. Water deeply and regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist. Fertilize with a balanced or tomato-specific fertilizer every 2-3 weeks. Prune side shoots (suckers) to promote airflow and focus energy on fruit production.
How to Save
- Most tomatoes are self-pollinating and don't frequently cross; in a garden setting, separating by 25 feet should prevent 99% of cross-pollination. Or you can bag and hand pollinate for 100% purity.
- On a small scale, seeds may be scooped from the fruits and dried on a paper towel.
- For larger quantities or cleaner seeds, fermentation for a few days is recommended.
- Once dry, tomato seed can be stored in a cool, dry, dark place; good seed retains viability for 5 years or more.
FAQ
How large are the fruits of Ananas Noire tomatoes?
The fruits are large, typically weighing 1-1.5 pounds, making them excellent for slicing.
Can I grow Ananas Noire tomatoes in containers?
Yes, use a large container (at least 5 gallons) with quality potting soil and provide support for the plant’s vines and fruit.
How do I store harvested Ananas Noire tomatoes?
Store tomatoes at room temperature away from direct sunlight. While refrigerating will extend the life of the tomatoes a little bit, it will also diminish their flavor and texture.
