Looks yummy!

 

[NYEric]

Limuhead, eat your heart out!! LOL! :rollhappy:

 

[limuhead]

I might just have to go pick a few dozen of those just to spite you!

 

[Ozpaph]

well done.
.....with vanilla ice-cream, please.

You grew a pineapple in NY?

 

[NYEric]

We can grow anything in NYC!

 

[Chicago Chad]

I know that temps have been increasing, but I am really surprised about the pineapple. I think more so than if I saw a blooming canhii from one of you guys up there.

 

[NYEric]

Soon. :ninja:

 

[Chicago Chad]

woot woot!

 

[SlipperFan]

Soon. :ninja:

:evil:

 

[The Orchid Boy]

Nice! Seems like mine should bloom soon-ish...

 

[Eric Muehlbauer]

It was the tastiest pineapple I have ever had! Too bad it was so small that we could only get a few bites each. (Better for me...more than a few bites of fresh pineapple and I get sores on my tongue.) I had posted pictures of it earlier as it developed, but yes, this is a NYC grown pineapple. Outdoors in summer, indoors in winter. It took maybe 2.5-3 years to get this. I cut off the top of this one to plant...I'll post the next fruit in 3 years!

I've heard that it only produces once per crown and then gets suckers or growths, can't remember if you cut them off and plant them or leave them. Maybe Limuhead can help?

My son wanted me to keep the plant and let it sucker. I threw it in the yard. It looks hideous now, leaves are all bent and floppy, and no suckers. No reason to keep a huge ugly plant, when I can just plant a new pineapple top.

After all those years?

A lot of work for a few bites!

 

[Eric Muehlbauer]

Considering that I didn't expect a single bite, I'm rather thrilled!

Mine first looked like when I put it outside, now it is getting huge leaves, don't know wher I'm going to put it this winter. I just started 4 more pineapple tops and they all have roots, time to pot them up!
