Planting a Pineapple, Crabapple & Lilac + New Obelisks for the Raised Beds! Garden Answer Stephanie: LOVE pineapple! My son had a science project, and selected to learn about pineapples. We grew a total of 8 of them showing the stages of growth. We started them from actual pineapples that we ate. We were lucky enough to enjoy eating a few of them. We lived in south Florida (zone 10a) at the time, so they were really easy to grow and care for. WE are now in zone 7b -and Im still adjusting (lol) I really enjoy everything you share with flowers, shrubs and trees. I don't have a green thumb, but I am always willing to learn and try. I love digging into the dirt and its a great stress reliver! Thank YOU!

Hi Im Judy from Kentucky. I have grown 2 pineapples to maturity. The first one I started from the top of a pineapple, the second one was started from a pup from the first pineapple. It takes almost 2 years from start to eating the fruit. I start my pineapples in south Florida in the winter and then bring it home to Kentucky. Last summer my pineapple was delicious! When it was almost all dark yellow to orange I cut it and ate it. It wasnt as large as the ones you buy but it sure did taste better. Ill send a picture when I figure it out.

I love your raised bed garden. How about adding higher sides as Samantha grows. When she is tall enough to reach a higher level, add more side until they are eventually a more comfortable height for you. Check out Mary Berry's New Garden video with brick raised beds in her home in England. 450mm high ( 1 foot 5. 717 inches) old farmhouse blend brick and wide enough to perch (designed by Bunny Guiness, I think. not too high. Would look lovely in your garden. Add to wish list? Ha.

When we moved interstate, I started trying to grow pineapples from the pineapple tops. Generally I have good success. Remove the pineapple fruit, and then start plucking off the bottom leaves till you have approx a 1/2 of stem. Then all I do is pop it in a jar of water on the kitchen bench and wait for the little nodes to turn into roots. Pop in the garden or a pot. (N. B. it will take about 2 years to flower and fruit using this method. Have fun experimenting!

Ive done pineapples alot from store bought pineapples. Ive never tried putting it in water though. I just cut the top off and put it in dirt. I water the top of the pineapple seems to work pretty well. I live in zone 9b and leave outside all year. The pineapples are smaller than the store bought ones but so sweet and yummy! Thanks for all your videos, so much good information! The hartley is coming along great cant wait to see what you do with it

We have ten to twelve pineapple plants in our front and back yards. They all have been from ones we cut off the tops from ones we have eaten. They are in different areas with some in sun some in shade and most are in wetter soil. We have six pineapples growing from the tops right now. We dont do anything special for them. Some in large pots and some in the ground.

I was thinking wow pineapple? when I read the title. My family own a pineapple yard for years now here in the tropics. We plant them in highlands thats mostly rocky (volcanics) soil with full sun and they're so sweet. Have fun growing them Laura! I'm sure the harvesting part still will be joyful unlike waddling with rubber suit in a thorny leaves mass

I maybe dumb for asking but does this actually grow pineapples or is it just the name of the plant?
Also is it just me but the back tall pine seems to be on a slant is it suppose to be like that?
Love the lilac brings me back to when my son was little and always brought me home lilac flowers. love them in the garden beds looks so pretty

I started a pineapple in water. It rooted quickly. Planted it in a pot, left it outside in the summer months, over wintered in a green house. It took 2 years too produce a pineapple. I put it outside hoping the sun would make the pineapple grow larger and just when it was ready to pick the squirrels took it. My advice, keep it inside
