A white-fleshed variety that’s dark green and purple in color during growth. Similar to Sugarloaf, the fruit is very sweet reminiscent of pina colada. Core is soft and edible. The ripe fruit gives little scent and only slight color change so watch closely.

_________________________________________________________________________

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.

OBSESSED!!!!!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I gave it 5 stars because it deserves the flowers. I do wish the paper was a little better quality. I think it would help make the pictures pop more. Regardless, this book is worth every penny. I haven't found anything else like it. The book is clear, concise, and isn't bogged down with too many details - just the facts m'am. It's a perfect starting reference to send someone down 101 different rabbit holes. I hope someday he puts out a hardback version on thick, slick paper with beautiful, glossy photographs. That would be lovely. For now, this will more than suffice. You get just enough about each artifact to get you going. From there, you can decide how to use your favorite search engine.

A great reference for Biblical factual archeology
Format: Paperback
I just received this book and I am so excited. It is a great tool and reference for Biblical studies. Each artifact has a great photograph next to the quick eye catching dates, discovery, period, keywords and Biblical passage. Then a brief but to the point description. It is simple and effective. Very easy to refer when reading your Bible or if you are just interested in archeology. Each artifact is about 2 pages and nothing more which is perfect for references. What a great book!

Excellent and in-depth archeologic finds that authenticate Bible history.

Archeology is proving much of the Bible's history as true. This book really delves into various sites and provides a lot of detail. My type of reading.

Great information and pictures
Format: Paperback
Great information on Biblical sites, beautiful pictures, and a pretty book as well. I gave several of these to my family for Christmas. Everyone seemed to love them. The only thing I will caution you about is that the book is small.
