Where does your pineapple come from? - gardenweb.com
Dole still grows pineapples there, but it is cheaper to get pineapples from the Philippines, Thailand, and Costa Rica. Pineapples are native to South America, but the U.S. still grows many non-native fruits, especially citrus. I don't think Hawaii grows enough pineapples to satisfy the U.S. demand. The last pineapples I had were Mexican.
Pineapple - Will pineapples fruit more than once? - Houzz
Pineapples don't really seem to need much attention. I weed, occasionally, and I do give them a time realease fertilizer once or twice a year.

Why did my pineapple upside down cake do THAT? (pic)
Then you could have them painted / coated at an auto body shop. I suggest you design them around 8" shorter than the distance between the rafters and the concrete so you do put them on a curb to make up differences in land level at the curb height. The thing about white framed windows is that so long as you have them, you want contrast.
Pineapple plant - fruit fell over - Houzz
Unless the fruit is a golden color, it is not ripe. Like other fruit, pineapples do not ripen after picked...they may get juicier, but not sweeter. Prop-up the fruit if the stem is still green and not broken. {{gwi:511485}} Good luck.
Live pineapple plants with pineapples at Trader Joe's
As we were leaving Trader Joe's on Monday, we noticed that they were selling live pineapple plants, all with pineapples already growing on them, but not yet ripe.

Using apples to force Pineapple to fruit - Houzz
I have grown a number of pineapple from tops in my aquaponic system. From all the research I have done, I have found that pineapples can take at least 20 years to mature and fruit. This can take even longer in colder climates. I am very impressed with how beautiful your plant is growing however! Have you grown any of these plants in the past?

The bottom line is that there are lots of things one can do to push the envelope. The right spot on the south side of the house can give a full zone addition.

Pineapples in Bay Area (mid-peninsula) - gardenweb.com
I had mine out all winter, and they would look somewhat unhappy as the winter wore on, but sprang back come warmer weather. I think it set them back quite a bit, I think you would have a greater chance of getting a sweet fruit and a more attractive plant if you gave them a warm place for the winter. I'm in Sunset 23.
Growing Pineapples in Florida - Houzz
I do the same Sunnygrl does, I smell and touch for ripeness. Pineapples usually take a long time to fruit, that is the reason I just forget about them in the garden. When I buy them if they don't have a sweet smell, I just don't get them. Sunnygrl, nice pictures of your pineapple bounty! and I can see the tomato picture today. Silvia
