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.

Help is on the way and it comes every day !
Format: Kindle
This book contains words that will encourage anyone wanting encouragement, just be willing to see what is set before you contains the Word Of God and His Words are filled with life for those who find them and health to all their flesh. This book really has been a help to my wife and myself. I have found that a word for a certain day spoke the very word of encouragement to me that I really needed that day and these words are more than just someone making suggestions. Perhaps they were written for someone you know or maybe even you yourself, who knows maybe they have come into your grasp for such a time of need as now ? Anyway you judge for yourself, just be encouraged.

A Very Helpful Guide to a Complicated Topic
Format: Kindle
This was a very good and genuinely helpful book. Estate planning and living trusts can feel intimidating, especially when you start hearing legal terminology and worrying about making costly mistakes. What I appreciated most is that this book takes a complicated subject and makes it feel understandable and manageable. The writing is clear and practical. Rather than assuming prior legal knowledge, it walks you through the process step by step in a way that feels approachable. I especially appreciated the explanations about trustees, beneficiaries, funding the trust, and the practical realities of organizing assets properly. Those details matter, and the book does a good job helping the reader think through them carefully. The worksheets and ready-to-use materials were also a big plus. They help turn the information into action instead of leaving you wondering what to do next. I found myself feeling much more confident about the overall process by the time I finished. Another strength is that the book addresses real-life situations that many families face, not just ideal scenarios. Issues like blended families, uneven inheritances, and planning ahead for future complications are discussed in a thoughtful and practical way. Of course, estate planning is important enough that complicated situations may still benefit from professional advice, especially since laws vary from place to place. But as an educational guide and starting point, I thought this book was excellent and very worthwhile. If you have been putting off learning about living trusts because it feels overwhelming, this book is a great place to begin.

For anyone considering a living trust now or may in the future
Format: Kindle
I was quite relieved to find this. It is a complicated topic, fraught with fears of things one might miss or mistakes one could make that would be costly. This guide breaks everything down into steps that are easy to understand and follow, with clear explanations for each one. The worksheets along the way are invaluable. I have been working on getting everything together for a living trust for some time and I found this book just in time to get me over the hurdles I'd been confronting. It's worthwhile for anyone to read this, whether currently planning a living trust or thinking ahead to the future.
