Here is mine. Unfortunately, it's not fruiting yet, too young. There's no offsets, maybe later when it gets bigger. Why do you want to compare with your Spanish Red?

Yes. I can see them now. Did you get any fruit yet? I am interested in some of your varieties. Don't have anything for trade though, maybe later.

So glad I stumbled across this thread! I was wondering what variety of pineapple I had since it wasn't identified when I purchased two of them. My plants "fruited" but succumbed to animal and fruit fly attack last year. I planted a bunch of slips and suckers but they are still fairly small. Damn that fruit smelled so good as I was placing its corpse in the green waste bin. Good job on this thread. Best, Chris

Hi Evildeadguy,

New member here.

I noticed by your sig that you have Natal Queens.  Would you be willing to sell me a sucker or point me in the direction where I could purchase one?  I've had no luck finding them online and would like one to add to my new pineapple garden.

Thx

One of my pineapples is showing first signs of flowering well inside the center.

I can't remember what pineapple type it is but I want to say Spanish Red.  The leaves have serrated/spiny edges all the way through.  I guess I'll have to wait to know for sure.
It's a pretty large plant in size but unfortunately no offshoots/suckers/pups of any kind yet.

It came from Excalibur Fruits but was unlabeled.  I can't se exactly what it was when they told me but I can recall "red" in the name.

Only thing i can think to do is to get in contact with them tell them you bought it from them sometime time ago and ask them if they ever grew and sold red Spanish pineapple plants at one time.... tell them when you got it. it didn't have a label  on it and you can't remember what it was called when you bought it from them
