Recycling Pineapples

The beauty of pineapples, is that you can eat the bottom and recycle the top by planting it to make a new pineapple!  It is a very renewable resource.  They also need little water and are more drought resistant than other tropical fruits.  The tops take about 2 years to fruit.  (That is how long my plant took to fruit).  Once it fruits, it takes about six more months to mature.  Therefore, you must be patient with your plant.  If you take better care of it, it will probably fruit sooner.  Good luck planting!
