Ask a question about this product

Grow your own Pineapples! These are the classic pineapple fruits, just like you see in the shop. Bromeliad family. Beautiful sweet fruit is born on a stalk, emerging from the center of the plant. They are fast growing and form clumps of 50cm tall by 50cm wide. Pineapple plants are very tough and drought hardy. They will produce off shoots, which can be removed and replanted in a different spot in the garden.

Ananas comosus is a low maintenance plant, which will produce fruit with a minimum of fuss. They are best grown in full sun to part shade. Choose a fertile, well draining soil. They are not entirely frost hardy, but have been known to grow as far south as Perth.

Supplied as: plants, 30-40cm tall

Unlike someone mentioned, using a pineapple top from a shop bought pineapple will take a fair bit longer then a top bought from here or from suckers on a pineapple already in flower.

Just buy a Pinapple from your local Woolworths, cut the top spike off let it dry out then plant it wherever. In several months you will have a red to purple look appearing and there's your new pinapple. I did this and got 2 rounds out of 1.

After several months, I can already see the little pineapple fruit growing. This is easier than I imagined it to be. My pineapple gets part sun and a fair climate, I am impressed by its growth.
