The first pick of the season. Giant Paun.

Tip of the hat to Brad Spaugh - thanks again.

Wow!

How did you support the fruit on the stalk? I am new to growing pineapples and unfortunately lost a couple to them snapping off the stem this year

I also have a Puan slip from Brad and do not want this to happen

I used four, small bamboo garden sticks and just reinforced the stem. Paun has a short, beefy stem, so it didn't need too much help.

The fruit was a winner with my wife… she liked the extra tart zing. Great pineapple... better than expected.
