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.

Great for adult faces too
Size: 0.47 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Advertised for babies but this is my go to sunscreen for my face, especially when traveling. It is a stick so doesn't have to go in your liquids bag for TSA. No worrying about it leaking either. Easy to use, and works well. It does leave a whitish cast but that helps me make sure I got every spot covered. Would rather have a whitish cast then end up red with sunburn.

Tear Free and No Sunburn
Size: 0.47 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This stick is pretty small, but great for carrying with you. It does not glide very well across the skin, however, my son's eyes are very sensitive and it prevents it from gliding too far over and risking burning his eyes. Spreading with fingers afterwards is always a good idea, leaves a bit of a cast but I am very fair so not too bad, easy for reapplication as well. The only major drawback is how drying this product is to the skin, not immediately, but over the course of several days. Not sure if that is all 100% zinc oxide products, or if this one is just lacking in something. Overall a good safe option for little faces that is tear free and wont run or burn eyes, and that works against UV.

Sun care for Babies.
Size: 0.47 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Great scent, coverage, and good on sensitive skin. My grand daughter is a blond, peaches and cream complexion, the sunblock works. No sunburned nose or cheeks this summer. We applied a swipe about every 90 min and it works for us. The little one has sensitive skin and we try to protect her completely. This product is now part of her sun care regimen. ( I even applied it to her hair part and ears)

I love sticks. Convenient and no product runs.
Size: 0.47 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Purchased for my toddlers 3 - 5 years old faces. Easy to apply. Doesn’t break out or irritate skin. Prevents sun burn if you apply About 30 mins before water play or outdoor play in heat. Doesn’t bother their eyes. I like the sticks so I can smooth over face and cheeks with out the sun screen running. Good stuff.
