Re: Another baby Pineapple!
How long is it taking you from planting to fruit? It takes me about 3 years in NC.

Re: Another baby Pineapple!
It's taking about the same time as Bananas. 2yrs give or take. This one was planted at the same time as the other variety that I already ate a while back and it's just now starting to send up the fruit. It was partially uprooted a couple times from my dogs playing ball so that may have something to do with the longer time to fruit. All of my pineapple plants were slips that I bought on ebay.

Re: Another baby Pineapple!
Neat! I started mine from a pineapple I bought at the grocery store and it is starting to grow a bit and has grown quite an impressive root system in a short time.

Re: Another baby Pineapple!
Mine is from a store pineapple too. It shows a lot of growth at first then it takes forever to fruit. I have mine in pots, I could never grow them in the ground.

Great picture, can you grow potted pineapple like bananas? I have a very short growing season here!

Re: Another baby Pineapple!
You just cut off all of the fruit and stick the top in some soil . I did this earlier this year and thought the thing was gone . My groundcover took it over . I pulled the stuff back last week to find the pineapple still alive .
Buzzwinder , you should be able to keep one potted just like all of your other bromeliads . Warn the kids , some can have nasty tips on the leaves . |

Re: Another baby Pineapple!
Just hold the fruit firmly in one hand,and with your other hand, grab the crown by the base, (growth coming out of the top of fruit), and twist. Then peel back the bottom leaves(about 1/4 to 1/2 inch) and let it sit a day or two before planting. When choosing a pineapple, try to find one with a crown thats not too beat up.

Re: Another baby Pineapple!
Just to add to Nanaman's post... an application of fungicide and root stimulator wouldn't hurt, if you don't have any then that is ok too but you run a greater risk of rot with out the fungicide. The root stimulator (growth hormone) just gives it a little extra 'oomph' to get established.

Re: Another baby Pineapple!
Just make sure there is no fruit left on the bottom after peeling the lower leaves off. If so trim with a knife. I pull enough leaves off so that it makes the nub on the bottom about an inch long, then let it sit on top of the fridge for 2-3 days before potting in a 50/50 mix of perlite and planting compost. I'll post a picture of the crown from the fruit I harvested that's doing very well now!

Re: Another baby Pineapple!
