From what I have heard from others is to not buy the Del Monte brand pineapples, as they have drilled holes in the growing portions. I have had no problems getting Dole brand pineapples to grow roots in a glass of water. Remember though, that you have to change the water at least once a day because if you do not it will kill the pineapple top. In fact, one of my pineapples that I started from a top in January or February of last year has already bloomed and has a 3-inch pineapple growing on it currently.
