A large  fruit with white flesh and edible core. Very sweet and a favored variety among growers. Common in Hawaii and sometimes referred to as ‘Kona’ Sugarloaf.  The plant has no spines on its leaves.

________________________________________________________________________________________

Latin name - Ananas comosus

Pineapple plants are one of the most ubiquitous tropical fruit plants. Surprisingly, these bromeliads are in the same family as tree-dwelling epiphytes like Spanish moss.

The fruits are familiar, highly-palatable, and fun to grow. Pineapple plants prefer well-draining, sandy/loamy soil as their primary nemesis is root-rot. Container-growing your pineapples is absolutely acceptable and they take quite well to fruiting in a pot.

Pineapple plants, although fairly low-growers, create a wide footprint with their broad leaves. Feel free to cut leaves back out of your walking paths. Commercial growers practice this method regularly with no effect on fruit production.

After about 70-80 leaves have been produced (variety-dependent), a pineapple will begin to produce it’s flowering stem. Pineapples are seedless unless grown closely with other varieties or hand-pollinated for seed production. In the wild, pineapples are primarily pollinated by hummingbirds, but zero pollination is required to yield delicious fruits.

Pineapple fruits are high in water content (86%) and provide a rich source of manganese and Vitamin C. You’re likely well-aware that pineapples are widely used in drinks, confections, fruit salads, and straight up.

A little pineapple history…

Pineapples have been cultivated for centuries in their indigenous region of Central and South America, but were not introduced in Europe until the 17th century. It’s moniker is owed to the tendency of European explorers to name any novel round fruits “apples.” 

Explorer John Smith was one of the first to utter the term “pineapple” to describe this fruit in 1624. By the late 1700’s and early 1800’s, wealthy Europeans installed greenhouses or imported pineapples for display purposes, cycling them through use as centerpieces until they began to rot.

In the 1800’s, commercial production of select cultivars like ‘Smooth Cayenne’ began. The ‘Smooth Cayenne’ cultivar achieved worldwide diaspora as it was favored for commercial growth throughout Europe, Hawaii, Australia, and Africa.

How long until my pineapple fruits?

The time from planting to harvest depends on the part of the plant you are using to propagate the pineapple. Use the guide below to set your expectations regarding harvest timeline:

-Pineapple Crowns (the top of the fruit) can produce a new crop within 12-18 months.

-Pineapple Pups/Suckers (off-shoots from the side of the plant itself) can produce a new crop within 18-24 months.

-Pineapple Slips (baby plants taken from the bottom of a pineapple fruit) can produce a new crop after about 24+ months.

When to pick pineapples…

Pineapples typically mature in the warmest months. In South Florida, harvest season rolls from June through September. You can tell your fruit is ready to pick when color change begins and the fruit begins to emit scent. Some gardeners are able to leave their pineapples on the plant until full yellow coloration; Gardeners with rodent pests should pick their fruits as soon as yellow blush appears to avoid loss of your precious fruits.

Once in a while, you may experience the glory of an off-season pineapple at Thanksgiving or Christmas-time.

Beautiful, well made puzzle
Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs, Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs
I am a big jigsaw puzzle enthusiast. It's the norm for there to be a 1000 piece puzzle on my dining room table at any given moment. This is my first experience with a wooden puzzle and I have to say I think I am hooked. This is a small, 200 piece puzzle, but it was so much fun! What I loved - *Let's just start with how pretty and vibrant this puzzle is! The colors are bright and it's print is sharp. *The pieces are beautifully laser cut and finished. No rough edges or burrs. *There are several specialty pieces, most are soccer related. What a great touch! *The pieces fit beautifully. *It comes with a pull string bag for storage and the items necessary to preserve and hang once completed. I am a fan and plan to order more of these fun puzzles!

Super Cool - Definitely Worth Buying!
Color: Nynj, Size: 200 pieces
The puzzle is a little smaller than I expected, but it’s looks really cool finished, and the pieces are fun and interesting to put together. I love the specialty pieces, like the pizza slice and soccer cleat. We did it as a family of four and it took about an hour or two. (We don’t do may puzzles.) It was a little hard to get started, especially for my 8-year old, but once we had a bunch put together, she was able to help. The designs are so cool, I may get the Miami one too! Highly recommend.

Nice puzzle
Color: Fifa Mascot 1, Size: 26PCS
The item arrived safely however the box had slight creases and we think the item was supposed to come with backing piece for displaying. Other than that the puzzle is really nice.
