I planted 4 pineapples today. I got the crowns from a display in the supermarket. The manager said I could have them for free. In about 2-3 years, I should have some pineapples.
The picture below is of some pineapples that I've had since April 2010. I forced them to fruit this year by wrapping them in a plastic bag with some ripe apples for one week. Two months later I noticed a change in the center of the pineapple plants. This was the flower forming.
