They look like classic ananas bracteatus.…they come in a few different cultivars including some variegated/stripped versions.
Beautiful plants with serious spikes. Lol
There’s no real way to test the fruit ripeness other than getting an instinct for it after growing them awhile. Mine flower with all the rest…around march…and when my other pineapple are looking ready, I pull the bracts in as well. Not very sweet, but definitely edible. Nice when mixed in a fruit salad.
Planted in sun they grow gold color. In shade deep green. The flower is beautiful. Nice plants.
