Default Re: Pineapple cultivars!

Pineapples are the least cold tolerant of any of my Bromelaids. Most of my bromelaids have seen temepratures in the 30sF without any damage, but once I left my Pineapple outside at 40F and it rotted in the center. If it was in the ground and not in a container, it probably would have handled temperatures in the low 30sF, but still a pretty tender plant!

I take mine inside when it starts getting cool outside usually around late October. They are one of the first plants to go inside for the winter.
