Hi fellow members
,
About 3 year's ago I bought a Pineapple/Abacaxi from a supermarket. This pineapple was super sweet and it's origin is from Brazil. I planted the crown in a pot, then later on to plant in it's permanent location. The pineapple ws planted few ft away from a mature cherimoya tree for semi-shade. I was going to force the pineapple next year...buy, it beat me to it. Small plant's bears small fruit...big plant's...etc.
I once read an article on pineapples. Pineapple plant must have atleast 70 leaves before forcing the plant to flower.
If anyone has a large pineapple plant and want to force the plant to flower...just use smoke
Last year.
This year
I'm over the moon
it's going to be a small fruit...But, I'm happy any way
Regards,
Steven
