Q While we were cutting up fruit for a snack on New Year's Eve, my
mother-in-law told me to save the pineapple top to grow an entire plant.
She is an avid gardener, but isn't quite sure how this is done. If she's
right, how would I go about getting it to grow? Thank you in advance. --
Kathy, Windsor
A Your mother-in-law is right -- one can grow a plant from a pineapple
top. It's been a while since we did this, but we had a new pineapple plant
with a little patience.
We were only successful in producing a very small pineapple on top. This
was due to warm daytime and cool nighttime temperatures and lack of proper
humidity and sunshine.
We still enjoyed nurturing the plant to see it's final transformation.
The pineapple is a member of the bromeliad family and given the ideal
condition, will grow into a shrub which can grow from two to five feet
tall and two to four feet wide.
When cutting off the top of a pineapple you will need to remove all of the
excess fruit flesh; otherwise it will rot and may even kill the plant.
After trimming, carefully slice small, horizontal sections from the bottom
of the crown until you see root buds that appear as small dots or circles
on the flat, cut surface. Remove as little tissue as possible to avoid
cutting into young stem tissue.
