Can you add a pic of any you have in the pot? Trying to get an idea of what it looks like.

These are the same fruit grown from a store bought gold pineapple. The fruit is pretty small still. It'sy first pineapple and I don't know how big it'll get.
The wide angle of the lens makes the white jades in front look much bigger than they are. The white jades are not nearly big enough to fruit. Leaves are still pretty thin.
Ebay sellers do not ship with certification so it's always a risk. I got one that was 7 gal and they hacked the roots to ship it. Make sure they don't do that.
Thank you so much every one for your feedback, I have 17 manila seedlings and plan to duplicate my present trees in the event of failure due to the turpentine rootstock on my Florida mangoes.
I found lemon zest here http://m.ebay.com/itm/121658069115 not bad of a price considering it's nearly impossible to find variety in California.
If lemon zest does well here, I'll move it to number one and Carrie to number 2. PS I eat lemons whole with salt so if there's a lemon flavor I'll be in heaven.
I would love to see some picsI have 27 crowns I'm currently growing in small pots. Hoping for a bounty within the next 2 years.Crowns can take 3 years or more to fruit, especially in colder non tropical climates.
That's about right for LA, where it slows down for the winter. My pineapple crown from about 2.5 years ago just finished flowering for the first time. It's in a 3 gallon pot. Not sure if I need to protect it from rodents later. There is no suckering of any type. Maybe it's a sign I didn't feed it enough?
