Those Dole Gold fruit pretty well. I grew one and we just ate the fruit on Saturday. I'd never tried growing pineapples before, so I had it in a 1 gallon pot and still got the cutest little pineapple a little larger than a softball. Tasted great.
and it sure was fun to see it grow/develop all summer! We had it for the last month on the kitchen table so we would be able to keep an eye on it.
One question, the pups from the original plant usually fruit in about a year right, as opposed to the two or three years it takes from a top?
Thanks for your help!
