A large  fruit with white flesh and edible core. Very sweet and a favored variety among growers. Common in Hawaii and sometimes referred to as ‘Kona’ Sugarloaf.  The plant has no spines on its leaves.

________________________________________________________________________________________

Latin name - Ananas comosus

Pineapple plants are one of the most ubiquitous tropical fruit plants. Surprisingly, these bromeliads are in the same family as tree-dwelling epiphytes like Spanish moss.

The fruits are familiar, highly-palatable, and fun to grow. Pineapple plants prefer well-draining, sandy/loamy soil as their primary nemesis is root-rot. Container-growing your pineapples is absolutely acceptable and they take quite well to fruiting in a pot.

Pineapple plants, although fairly low-growers, create a wide footprint with their broad leaves. Feel free to cut leaves back out of your walking paths. Commercial growers practice this method regularly with no effect on fruit production.

After about 70-80 leaves have been produced (variety-dependent), a pineapple will begin to produce it’s flowering stem. Pineapples are seedless unless grown closely with other varieties or hand-pollinated for seed production. In the wild, pineapples are primarily pollinated by hummingbirds, but zero pollination is required to yield delicious fruits.

Pineapple fruits are high in water content (86%) and provide a rich source of manganese and Vitamin C. You’re likely well-aware that pineapples are widely used in drinks, confections, fruit salads, and straight up.

A little pineapple history…

Pineapples have been cultivated for centuries in their indigenous region of Central and South America, but were not introduced in Europe until the 17th century. It’s moniker is owed to the tendency of European explorers to name any novel round fruits “apples.” 

Explorer John Smith was one of the first to utter the term “pineapple” to describe this fruit in 1624. By the late 1700’s and early 1800’s, wealthy Europeans installed greenhouses or imported pineapples for display purposes, cycling them through use as centerpieces until they began to rot.

In the 1800’s, commercial production of select cultivars like ‘Smooth Cayenne’ began. The ‘Smooth Cayenne’ cultivar achieved worldwide diaspora as it was favored for commercial growth throughout Europe, Hawaii, Australia, and Africa.

How long until my pineapple fruits?

The time from planting to harvest depends on the part of the plant you are using to propagate the pineapple. Use the guide below to set your expectations regarding harvest timeline:

-Pineapple Crowns (the top of the fruit) can produce a new crop within 12-18 months.

-Pineapple Pups/Suckers (off-shoots from the side of the plant itself) can produce a new crop within 18-24 months.

-Pineapple Slips (baby plants taken from the bottom of a pineapple fruit) can produce a new crop after about 24+ months.

When to pick pineapples…

Pineapples typically mature in the warmest months. In South Florida, harvest season rolls from June through September. You can tell your fruit is ready to pick when color change begins and the fruit begins to emit scent. Some gardeners are able to leave their pineapples on the plant until full yellow coloration; Gardeners with rodent pests should pick their fruits as soon as yellow blush appears to avoid loss of your precious fruits.

Once in a while, you may experience the glory of an off-season pineapple at Thanksgiving or Christmas-time.

Durable, sensory texture
Color: Blue-Green-Orange
These are fantastic. They are durable and high quality. My dog loves the sensory texture and they satisfy his aggressive chewing. I've bought other high-end, popular brands and he chewed through it in less than two hours. I would definitely buy these again (if I even had to)!

Best purchase
Color: Blue-Green-Orange
These are by far one of the best toys for my aggressive chewer. My pitbull mix loves the football & ball, gave the other toy to my niece's dog. Bought them in Nov/Dec and they have held up great, still look new. I was upset when I saw they are no longer available. I would have purchased more to have some for specific outdoor use.

Good buy
Color: Blue-Green-Orange
Babies didn't use them. Too tough for their mouths. They are to small. Good for a bigger puppy.

Mastiff mix puppy loves them
Color: Blue-Green-Orange
I have experience with large working dog breeds, and I've got a mastiff lab mix puppy, who at 5 months weighs 50 pounds and is teething hard, and chews on everything. Most chew toys I've tried broke within a few minutes, but these have held up. I like that the ones I received are hollow, so I can put puppy kibbles inside them to keep the dog busy in her crate, and slow her eating so she doesn't scarf down her meals and get sick. The hole is small, but I feed small sized "taste of the Wild" brand kibbles, and they would pour out of Kong toys within seconds. I have recommended them to other puppy owners. My dog isn't an aggressive chewer, but for a teething puppy, these toys do seem to be ideal.

Nice material but do not recommended for aggressive chewers
Color: Blue-Green-Orange, Color: Blue-Green-Orange
Why did you pick this product vs others?: The material is nice and easy to wash but definitely do not recommend for large breeds/ aggressive chewers. My big pup ripped one up within seconds of getting it. The ball has lasted!
