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.

Pineapple was raised at the Rivers Nursery in Hertfordshire in the second half of the 19th century. It was developed from another nectarine variety called Pitmaston Orange.
