Pernambuco Pineapple
« on: April 13, 2012, 09:31:50 AM »
A few years back I bought what was advertised as a 'pernambuco' pineapple on eBay. Earlier this year I forced it to fruit and based on the bright pink fruit I think it is an A. bracteatus plant.

Anyone growing the pernambuco and has a pic of the fruit?

This is what the USDA has for the fruit:http://www.ars.usda.gov/SP2UserFiles/Place/53200365/pineapple/HANA14W.jpg

Definitely doesn't look like my fruit.
