Love how easy it is to grow a pineapple
yallmfsneedjesus
Is this one of those things where it take 5 years and then tastes like shit?
TerraMamma
Never grown one that the raccoons didn't get...
AlpacaScreampilot
THATS FUNNY
TheInternetNeedsMoreCats
I'm excited to try this in my front yard in Seattle.
KnifeKnut
Looks like you will get some more out of that plant too!
Iaskdumbquestions
Did you crossbreed an apple tree and a pine tree.
sparky2212
Yea, it's so easy it only takes 2 years!
Crazyaussiecanadian
Live in the tropics, plant one every couple of weeks. After two years, pineapples ripening every couple of weeks.
upthebumnobaby
I cried the first time I saw how a pineapple grew. It is so silly and beautiful and stupid and perfect and dumb.

Time for your daily pineapple up the ass
KodiakDDS
That's awesome but I maintain that pineapple plants look real dumb

If you leave it will another pineapple grow out of the original?
Doismellbacon
Express!
DudaciousJustDudacious
Finally saw that movie...so dumb and so great at the same time!
Doismellbacon
Truly. Sometimes it's nice to turn your brain off and just enjoy.
Crocadiah
Critter ate mine the night before I planned to pick it. Congratulations on the full size
rbudrick
Well, I hope it got a sour tummy. Lil butthole.
Pailloran
Ugh, don't they take like 2 years to fruit?
Destirinity
I've heard they fruit when others are fruiting, so you can fool them into fruiting by watering them with fruit juice
Colocasia192
Oh, I'm waiting, patiently waiting in Zone 7, outside and in doors overwinter, three years and counting, for my next pineapple.
Colocasia192
Character building, Baby! And well worth the wait.
Hovencloof
One of the most outrageous-looking fruits of all.
EroticZombiePants
Google 'Kiwano'.
Destirinity
Technically a berry
YeahNahWot
It takes several hundred teenage pineapples to slow a ZD Fairlane from 75 mph.
AsUpSoBelow
Make tepache from it
genewildersghost
You should cut all the small shoots and leave the biggest so you will have a large pine apple again instead of many small ones
AskThisGuy
A few hundred years ago you could have made some good money renting it out.
Notreallymyusernameanymore
I have two plants, neither will give fruit I suspect. Probably because I'm in Canada and pineapples don't grow here.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
How easy... How long/how many square feet does it require for one?
DatSEAsian4ever29
Real name= ananas lol
juffowup00
So it's well behaved and all?
VanZaiden
tried growing one as a potted plant years ago...looks cool but attracts rly annoying flies
downsouthfarm
Pyrethrum will fix those flies.
Nalianna
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a pineapple.
peachesforme
I miss me some Click and Clack :(
spontaneous9
Easy enough, unless you walk too close to it in the dark, puncture your femoral artery and bleed out before help arrives.
peachesforme
I mean I have never owned or planted one but of all the things to make me bleed at work it was a pineapple
spontaneous9
Just like tequila agaves, they are grown in fields full of razor-sharp bayonets.
AdultPersistentAngst
Good size. I've grown one before.
3006mv
I’ve only grown mine in pots, I’ll try in the ground next time. Pineapples are bromeliads
UWAGAGABLAGABLAGABA
Don't pick it yet, @op. Wait for it to turn yellow.
ItsDandySpaceDandy
MADchemEE
Is that one fruit per season/year?
WokeGhettoSpiritualist
Can take about 4 years to grow 1 pineapple, and they're better from the store.
IDanceNakedInFrontOfMyPets
2 to 3 years... only fruits about 4 to 5 times
lurksohardmotherfuckerswannafindme
Really? I thought it was 2-3 years for first fruit and then it just pops off if the climates right
AdultPersistentAngst
Mine took about 2.5 years and only got one.
ImgurCouncilOfLlamas
Dang, it's easy? I live pineapple.
YouGoHugo
Right under the sea?
GiantSquanchy
Depends on your climate. In Florida, they grow pretty easy. Just plant the top and after a couple years it bears fruit a couple times.
pareidoliaperson
How further north with <4hrs good son (in winters, summer is ok).
Pailloran
The hard part is waiting a couple of years- but they are very tolerant and easy plants.
kidonanescalator
Put..put...it on your pizza
whitepalidin
candied pineapple with some spicy pepperoni is awesome. +1 for bravery to list it for pizza.
HannibalLectersCatMittens
I'm not crazy about pineapple on pizza, but this made me laugh.

Pronounced "gialapenos"
Uptownfunkyourbutt
Jalapenos?! I never, I will next time mer gerd
leojlm15
Hula-peño! YES!!!
VerboseDood61
Bacon, jalapeño, pineapple is one of my favorite pizzas, ever!
HamshanksCPS
Oooh, I've never thought to trow jalapenos into the mix
MrGubbmintMan
Sweet and spicy and salty, hits all those taste buds
poojoy
some olives, and anchovies too
TheRicM
I mean the original recipe comes from ham and pineapple dishes. It's not just putting pineapple nillywilly on the pizza, it's an actual dish
jeeps005
in quebec we do ham steak with grilled pineapple rings, all glazed in maple syrup. Usually served with mashed potatoes and canned peas
Ilurklikekirk
One thing I miss about living in QC was the sugar shack breakfasts... Oh man....

Pineapples grow like you're trying to prank your friend into thinking that's how pineapples grow
freckledkink
Brussel sprouts, too
Nunyajonesinc
Now do asparagus
Kiotetravels
That's how asparagus grows too, it looks like someone just came out overnight and stuck asparagus into the ground
pareidoliaperson
FYI: You cut the crown and put it a vase with water. Looks like you can then pot it and keep it as houseplant.
dougherd6
A spiky massive houseplant
EchoOfSnac
I once saw some kids playing soccer in Nicaragua and they would just run right through the pineapple leaves in shorts. Maniacs.
pareidoliaperson
Need re'potting couple of times for sure.
kddk8s
I've got two going in semi-hydro. They've going nuts in clear plastic cups with LECA.

Transparent with leca interesting. Found this video about it. Thanks for sharing that. Pics maybe? If you like. https://youtu.be/dt6DPhXZ1KQ

Laughing in cashew nut
NoNotHimTheOtherGuy
A driver in Costa Rica slid to a stop, snatched one off a tree, tossed it to us and asked us to guess what it was as we kept driving. :D
DidItForScience
When I found out how cashews are grown I was surprised that they don't cost 10x as much. And why would anyone bother?
pareidoliaperson
Did you that documentary?
DarthKraken
Someone did it, people liked it, money was to be made
DidItForScience
I wonder what kind of environmental impact cashew farming has.
OuchMouse
Me too. Every fruit grows just one cashew and there’s a big case around it. Each cashew to be individually pulled.
necrojoe
Figs are fun, too. And vanilla.
delciotto
What's odd about figs? or you thinking about the wasp thing. That is not the only way they are pollinated.
pareidoliaperson
And avocado. There was a post about it couple months. In short, you can't simply grow it from the pit.
DidItForScience
Most apples are that way too. In fact most of our food are cultivars that require specific methods to grow.
