My first pineapple! Several years ago in college, I cut the tops off some store-bought pineapples and planted them. Rather large bromeliads resulted, but no fruit.
This winter we had one of the coldest winters in south Florida, and 2 of my pineapple plants fruited shortly after! Not only that, they are making lots of pups also.
Unfortunately, the bottom of the pineapple had lots of ants and gross scaly-looking flat furry bugs. I brought it in and scrubbed the bottom with boiling hot water but now I am afraid to eat it.
