I just saw a pineapple plant for sale today at Home Depot. Now I want to grow some too! How do you think they'd do in SoCal z10a?

Great! I hear that they require very little room, which is good because I'm sort of tight on space.

I had a sugarloaf fruit in a 1 gallon pot, it was a pretty small fruit but tasted great. Pineapples don't need much soil to grow, but the plants can get pretty wide, they love to jab you as you walk by.

Great thread! I can't believe how many little pups you repotted. Do you guys want to post up your watering/fertilizing schedule? Right now just for fun i have two tops growing from store bought pinneapples, just testing out my green thumb.
Thanks,

I grew Sugarloaf and Smooth Cayenne but opted to keep only the Smooth Cayenne. The flavor and texture won me over.

Much to my surprise my pineapples are starting to flower and set fruit. This is especially surprising as I figured that they would take longer from tissue culture. My MD2 pineapples that were started from tops were begun in 2009 and are just now flowering.

I feel like Sugarloaf flowers every year no matter what, where all my other types take at least 2 years.

How long does it take to get ripe?

OK, I want to know if those of us in cooler climes can do pineapples. No greenhouse, but I can bring it inside over the winter with the 10,000 other tender plants I have.

Awesome pics. I just ordered two Sugarloaf Pineapple plants two days ago. I can't wait till they arrive. How old is the inflorescence in your pictures? How long did the plant take to produce a flower?
