Pineapples at BJ's
At BJ's today, I saw that they were selling Pineapple plants, with Pineapples growing at the top. I am curious, how come it is so hard and takes so long to get a Pineapple plant to fruit here, but they can get them to fruit enough to sell??? What's the deal? Is it the climate they grow them in, variety, or fertilizer?!? I was thouroughly confused.

Re: Pineapples at BJ's
Odd. What do they "fuel" them with? What kind of fertilizer?

Re: Pineapples at BJ's
ethylene, which stimulates bromeliads to flower.
some folks use apples put in the middle of plant and cover with plastic bag, they produce same gases..

Re: Pineapples at BJ's
Cool. I never knew that. Obviously, LOL! What variety would you suppose these pineapples were?
