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.

Get it, you won't regret it!
Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This stuff is awesome. I've been battling a lot of sickness lately, and this stuff gives me energy and helps my immune system. The only downside is I'm still not sure how much to take. I'm up to 2 dropper fulls a day (I'm 250lb), but have no idea how much that really is. Warning Tip: Any time you open the bottle up, do it over a plate or paper towel. This stuff tends to get EVERYWHERE, even if the dropper is in the cup, and it stains like crazy. So keep a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol near by if it gets on your counter, the sooner you spray it with alcohol and scrub it, the less likely it'll stain permanently. But avoid doing this over white counters no matter how careful you are😅. I tried it over white counters once, and no matter how careful I was or how many paper towels I put down, tiny droplets still got in random places on the counter. I still got it out with rubbing alcohol.. eventually... but oh boy it was way harder to do, I had to scrub a TON. 🤣

Effective for me!
Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Thank you God! The first day I took it I felt it.. I was having issue with my left eye optic neuritis/ optic pallor and I felt it working on my eye. It literally felt like it was restoring my eye. My eye was no longer irritating me and after around 2 months I was able to wear my contacts again… I like this one better because it has other supplements like magnesium and lions man mushroom which I know can help possibly aid in cell regeneration… The other one I tried is too concentrated for me and has a more harsh taste… this taste is way more tolerable…. I will continue to buy this one… it’s the best one… for me at least❣️ Thank you!

It was ok
Size: 2 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It tastes better than all the alternatives I’ve tried, but it makes me wonder if it is more sugar and less potency because I didn’t feel a noticeable difference after taking it like I had with some other brands. It also is a much fainter blue than the others I’ve taken…like it is possibly less concentrated(?) Anyhow, I could tolerate the flavor right out of the dropper unlike any others I’ve tried, but I’ll probably try a new brand next time as this wasn’t my favorite.
