Pineapple (forum)

steve starts with ...
Hi Everyone,

Have heard you can cut the top off a pineapple & plant it. So Have been searching for some for ages but have noticed their always already cut off these days. But today i found some. So what is the best way to go about it?? Cut & plant straight away?? Refrigerate or not?? What soils do they prefer?? How much water?? Any advice would be great.

Thanks,
Steve..

Talk about coincidence ,just picked the first pineapple out of the garden tonight,for desert.Not bad i might add.First you obtain a top ,remove the lower leaves,leaving about an inch of stump ,leave this to dry about 3 or 4 days or it will rot.I place this into a good potting mix in a pot until growth is seen ,then transfer to the open ground.Hey presto about 18 months to 2 years later you have your own home grown fruit ,lovely. WARNING do not over water or else disaster,enjoy . Hope this is a help.Regards David

I know that pineapples traditionally grow in tropical climates, but does anyone know if you could do this in a temperate climate such as perth?

Hi Rus,

I can grow pineapple in Melbourne and your corner is much warmer so I can't see why not. Please visit my edible to view my plant and note.

Good luck.

Hi Rus,

I normaly get the one with multiple heads and grow that way so I have 4 or 5 plants in one pot. When they have fruits they looks sturning. Please remove the flesh if any and also some bottom leaves and let it dry for a week before planting it. This way the head will not get rotten. Good luck.

I can't find a pineapple with leafs still on anywhere. Even my local organic grocer who is very reliable doesn't have them with leafs on. Anyone have any ideas of where i can find one in Perth Metro area (north of the river).

I have a pineapple top that I've been growing for several months now in a glazed pot. I actually cut it off and left it dry for several weeks outside because I forgot about it. They're pretty tough. I got my pineapple from Connolly IGA but I don't know whether there's any there at the moment. I notice there are more pineapples available in the warmer months (I got mine in summer).

Hi Rus,

Very sweet pines are normaly topless because of exclusive research involved and they paid for that and they don't want any one to have a chance to grow them. Special lisence applied.

The normal ones are available in super market and are plenty. Those are ok to eat but not like Mareeba gold always topless.

Hi Jantina,

My favourite one is Mareeba Gold and I bought some in Cairns it was very sweet much sweeter in melbourne because they pick green to send interstates.

I was in Mareeba in January to look for this variety with the top. There was a road side stall near the town to sell a couple of varieties.

They were huge tree ripen golden fruits with tops except Mareeba gold and I asked local who said even with them they never could buy this particular one with the top bits. Now, I can understand why some pines with no heads

How are everybody's propagated pineapples going?

I picked up a pineapple (forgotten the name it was marketed under already) with green top today from Wanneroo Markets.

I've twisted off the green, then peeled the bottom leaves as shown. Is this about the right amount of green to stem? (i.e. should I peel any more?) thanks

Hi Alli,
Pineapples only fruit once, but usually one plant will give you several 'pups', plus the 'pup' on the top of the fruit, to re-plant.

The slips and suckers from the side and base of the plant fruit in half the time as the tops.I have finally secured the tops of mareeba gold,hawaiin gold and giant rough leaf types and they are so much better than the old fashioned cayennes.The markets are starting to leave the tops of the good types on but not the supermarkets.

Jantina just hang in there a little while as I have a few things to send of in the next few weeks.There have been some whoppers of the good pineapples around lately and I might have to 'tank up' on pineapple if I get a few.Mareeba gold is the easiest of the good ones to get.In the past few months I seem to have acquired dozens more fruit trees,herbs and vegie seeds partly thanks to a couple of Daleys regulars.

G'day Mike,
I was never a fan of smoothleaf pineapples, and always bought roughies.
Just for fun, I grew a smoothie. Fair dinkum, it was easily the BEST pineapple I've ever tasted! I now grow both :-)

Most good ones are smooth leafed.It is just the golden circle sunshine coast sour old cayennes have dominated so long and look similar to the golds so people play it safe and eat the roughleafs.

Deb they are a smooth leafed one.Of the types around I find the hawaiin gold,mareeba gold and giant rough leafed queen the really good ones.They are sweeter with lower acid than others.Cayenne is the sourer common canning one that is semi-smooth leafed and dominates.They seem to be grown in cooler places.
Jantina I see that I never got around to sending tops.Sorry about that, are you still in the market for them?

John Mc says...
Bunnings were selling a pineapple plant labeled "Paradise pine" sourced from Pampered Pines Nth Qld last Dec. They matured to a normal size and were the sweetest pineapples I've ever tasted. There was none of that astringency typically seen in normal pineapples, it was as sweet as. The main plant should throw off a pup before it dies and I should get a plant from the pineapple top as well.
I've grown other "normal" pines in the past but had unbeareable amounts of acid content because of the colder conditions it had to ripen under. Maybe these new varieties might be ideal for colder conditions.

Pups, being both slips and suckers fruit faster than the tops.I have a mareeba and an Hawaiin top ready to roll and I had better get them to Jantina if she still wants them.The paradise may be the nursery's own name for a 'j' series pine.I don't know how each type performs in cold weather.That lovely rich, sweet taste with low acid is the way of the future for pineapples as the sourer ones will get more scarce.I bet they have a resurgence in popularity.

They definately have a renewed interest here since the Paradise pines I've just finished growing.
They even threw a couple of good shoots on the stalk, just under the fruit itself, they're growing on very quickly now they're in potting mix.
I never thought I could grow a sweet var here, I'll be propagating as many as I can.

John, they are slips and take an intermediate time to fruit between the 2 years of the tops and 1 year of basal suckers.Slips take energy from the pineapple and individuals with lots are not preferred for propagation.If you have a good one for your area you have to grow all you can.Like a banana it won't fruit again but suckers that regrow will.Best to leave one and spread the rest.

Guys, where does this idea that pineapple plants fruit once and die come from? Not in my experience. After fruiting leave the plant in the ground, even though it looks a bit rubbishy, and it will produce suckers. Leave one sucker on the plant and use the others for propagation. The sucker left on the plant will take over and produce a fruit, usually sooner than other propagation material, after all it already has a functioning root system so doesn't expend energy on growing a new one.

Pineapple slips and suckers can produce more pineapples but not from the original head.If you plant suckers and slips fruit comes faster than if a top is planted.You would probably get more pineapple per area if you replaced old plants after a single fruit.

I have a mareeba gold with a partial top. Has anyone ever tried growing from a partial? I was wondering if it would split the head like ponytail palms sometimes do.
I also read somewhere you can develop the plant from cutting off 2 inches of the fruit below the head and whether this appriach may give the top a better chance to photosynthesise and take to regrowth.

Hi Steve,

That's awesome that you found some pineapples with the tops still intact! Here's what you can do to plant them:

Cut & Plant: Yes, you can cut off the top of the pineapple and plant it directly into the soil. Make sure to cut about half an inch below the leafy part.

Refrigeration: You don't need to refrigerate the pineapple top before planting. Just make sure it's fresh and hasn't started to rot.

Soil Preference: Pineapples prefer well-draining soil with a mix of organic matter. Sandy soil works well too.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Pineapples don't like to sit in water, so make sure the soil drains well.

Sunlight: Plant your pineapple top in a sunny spot where it can get plenty of sunlight.

Patience: It takes time for the pineapple to root and grow, so be patient with the process.

Hope this helps! Enjoy growing your pineapples.

Best,
Los Lirios
