I would talk to the produce people in your local supermarkets. A lot of the stores, around here, offer to core the pineapples, free, for customers. When they have them on sale, cheap, they sell lots of them, and have lots of tops, that they would throw out. I've gotten many this way.

when the grocery store cuts up pineapples for fruit trays you can get the tops that way. all you have to do is call and ask them to put the tops aside and most of the time they will do it.

If phyto certificates were'nt so tough to get, I'd ship you some Ecuadoran white pineapple tops. You haven't lived until you've had white pineapples....

Hey, no worries. White pineapples are closer to the original species bromeliad than the heavily hybridized yellow ones, with the added benefit that they can be grown at extreme altitudes. I live in Quito and grow them on my balcony, and that's at nearly 3000 meters (about 10,000 feet). Yellow pineapples wouldn't survive it; they were specifically adapted to grow at or near sea level, and they're not cold hardy at all.

Do you know any of the common names for particular varieties of these white pineapples?
