You think you have a problem? Have a look at the crown on this.
I have two like this, Dole Gold pineapples from grocery store tops....
Give it Mohawk cut.
Simon, been following Poway temps once in a while. I'd love to have highs in the mid 70's. The warmer temps in Brad's greenhouse must help. Mine hit 103F before I cooled off everything with cool well water yesterday. Took my pre dawn walk in a cool 65F this morn. Saw where parts of France hit a record 114F the other day. Germany and Austria are hitting 100+ temps!
I guess I'll take a knife to that mess as I don't want to pop the whole plant out and disturb the root system.
I dropped a couple of calcium carbide nuggets into 4 oz. of water, let it fizz for a while and then poured the water into my biggest pineapple's cup. Let's see if that induces it to fruit.
