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.

Perfect for Decorative Shams!
Color: White, Size: King(2Pack)
I purchased the VAINOC king size pillows specifically to use inside decorative shams, and they are absolutely perfect for that purpose. They have just the right amount of firmness to keep the shams looking full and well-shaped without being overly stiff. I love how they instantly made my bed look more polished and put-together. The size fits beautifully in king shams, giving that plush, high-end look you usually see in hotels or magazines. The quality is great for the price, and they fluff up nicely without going flat. If you’re looking for affordable pillows to elevate your bedding decor, these are a great choice!

Great fluffy ones
Color: White, Size: King(2Pack)
I originally order this pillows to use as Shams for an oversize king comforter but they came out to small for that, but after seen the qualitu i kept them for my daily use ones. The size is perfect, and the quality feels much higher than the price suggests. It's soft yet supportive, holds its shape well, and adds a real touch of comfort to the bed. For the price, it’s a fantastic deal. The pillow look big and they are super fuffly. Highly recommend if you're looking for great value without sacrificing quality!

Fantastic pillow
Color: White, Size: King(2Pack)
Super comfortable for a bit of a firm pillow it is king size and lightweight, it gets pretty warm pretty quick, I stack both pillows on top of each other in the same pillow case for extreme support but that's just me.

King size great pillows!!!!!
Color: White, Size: King(2Pack)
I ordered this 2-pack of king-size pillows to upgrade my bed, and I’m so glad I did. The size is perfect for a king bed and instantly made everything look more full and put together. When they arrived, the pillows fluffed up nicely and felt soft yet supportive. They’re not too flat and not overly firm, which makes them really comfortable whether you’re sleeping on your back or side. I’ve been using these for a bit now and they’ve held their shape well through the night. They provide good neck and head support without feeling stiff, and they don’t go flat by morning. What I like most is how versatile they are — great for sleeping but also perfect for propping up in bed while reading or watching TV. For a two-pack, the quality is honestly impressive. Overall, these are a great value and exactly what I was looking for. If you want comfortable, well-filled king-size pillows that look and feel great, I would definitely recommend this set.
