You cut off the leafy top and stick it into the ground, and it grows a new pineapple. The bad news is that this process takes about two years. During the first year, the ex-pineapple top grows to a plant that is between 2 and 3 feet tall. Then it flowers in the center, and during the next year, the flower turns into a tiny fruit, and the fruit grows into a fully ripe pineapple.<BR/><BR/>Then you pick it, eat the pineapple, plant the top again, etc. (and repeat as needed...). ;-}<BR/><BR/>BobbieBNShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709074385552082635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372661752347661223.post-79113538945498116172008-09-07T13:39:00.000-06:002008-09-07T13:39:00.000-06:00Hi Bobbie - Until a couple of years ago, I always ...Hi Bobbie - Until a couple of years ago, I always thought they grew on trees like the coconuts do. My family don't let me forget it. Do the plants keep growing pineapples after the ripe one is picked, or is it a one plant, one fruit deal? I bet they taste heavenly!kmlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782946391673845914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372661752347661223.post-64318450366362509962008-09-02T23:47:00.000-06:002008-09-02T23:47:00.000-06:00Well, Hildegarde, I'm glad you learned something n...Well, Hildegarde, I'm glad you learned something new here. :-)<BR/><BR/>BobbieBNShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709074385552082635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372661752347661223.post-18120277472788793342008-09-02T15:18:00.000-06:002008-09-02T15:18:00.000-06:00Interesting !!
