The original top I started with was a Dole. I twisted the top off, and then picked the bottom inch or so of leaves off the stalk--I let that dry for about 10 days. I then planted it in a large pot of composted cow manure. About 18 months later I had the first bloom--when the pineapple was ripe (it was very sweet) it sent out 4 pups--those are now starting to bloom---2 have already bloomed and I think the other 2 will within a month.
