Default Re: Rooting pineapple

They can be grown from seed also. Supposedly, they must be pollinated by a hummingbird. There are no hummingbirds in Hawaii, and it's illegal to bring them in. (They don't want seeds in their pineapples.) However, most of the pineapples we get, here on the East coast, come from Central America, and there are hummingbirds there. The seeds are small and look like sesame seeds, only darker. They are found right under the skin. If you go to my photo gallery, page 43, you can see some pictures. ( I don't remember how to repost them in the current thread.)
