Re: Pineapples 06
slips from fruit stalk will fruit again on same plant
shoots from between blades
pups from ground ( like banana pups)
Slips and shoots grow most rapidly while attached to the mother plant, so it is best to let them grow for several months after the fruit is removed. After these branches are about 12 inches long, you can cut or break them off close to the stem and grow your slips, pups and shoots in the same manner you did your crown. In the case of slips, there may be a small knob at their base. This should be cut off. Because they are larger, slips and shoots will produce a fruit in less time than to takes for a crown. the fruit is most often smaller than first planting..
