Pineapple

20 years ago

I was given a pineapple plant with a small fruit on it in July. It did great through the Summer. The fruit got to about 8 inchs and I brought the plant in before the frost hit in zone 6. I had the fruit staked but from its weight its stalk still cracked. It was nice and yellow and fragrant so I harvested it and it is delicious. My question is do I cut back the entire stalk or let it wither on its own. And will it have another fruit come next Spring/Summer?

Thank you ReeRee

Just let the remaining stalk be, the plant will not produce fruit again, but it will produce off-shoots which can be divided and planted separately.....you're on your way to having a pineapple plantation. LOL

I'm looking for a Pineapple pup, plumerias and bromeliad Neo Blue Barron for trade or postage. Thanks.

The crown taken from a grocery store pineapple is the best method for propagation and simple to root.

There is no advantage to a pup unless you are wanting to grow something other than a Spanish Red or Cayenne Gold.
