My Pineapple Finally...Fruiting :)
« on: June 07, 2012, 10:05:23 AM »
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 ;D ;D ;D it's going to be a small fruit...But, I'm happy any way :)

Regards,
Steven

Time is like a river.
You cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again.
