Heirloom variety of unknown origin, grown commercially in the 1970s by M Inés in southern Indiana.

Large fruit, up to 1 kg, orange with red veiling, irregular shape but ribbed throughout. Insertion at the peduncular attachment wide and deep, 7 sepals.

Beefy flesh with few seeds, remarkably fruity flavour with exotic aromas reminiscent of pineapple when eaten at full maturity.

Note that there is a variety on the Vents Marins website and transcribed on the Sowers website: "Marianna's Hawaiian Pineapple". This is the same variety, the confusion is due to an error in the creation of the identification sheet, the seeds coming from Marianna's seeds, the writer of the said sheet misinterpreted the name on the packet and wrote: "Marianna's hawaiian pineapple", instead of "Hawaiian pineapple"; moreover, on the Marianna's site, there is no trace of the latter, only the "Hawaiian pineapple" variety is for sale there
