What is a pineapple?
The pineapple is technically not a single fruit, but a sorosis. The fruits of a hundred or more separate flowers grow on the plant spike. As they grow, they swell with juice and pulp, expanding to become the "fruit." Pineapples do not grow on trees, as many erroneously think. They are the fruit of a bromeliad, rising from the center on a single spike surrounded by sword-like leaves. The pineapple plant is the only bromeliad to produce edible fruit. Commercial plants are only harvested two to three years since the fruit begins to get smaller with each year of plant life. Pineapples weigh between four and nine pounds on average but can reach weights up to twenty pounds. The waste parts left from canning plants, including the skin, core and ends, are used to make alcohol, vinegar and food for livestock.

Pineapples live and root into the ground and do not grow tall. They can be propagated by chopping the top leafy area off. Leave a little bit of the pineapple top under the leaves and plant this part in a pot or in the ground. If you live in a feezing area plant it in a pot so you can move when it gets too cold. Be pationant and in two years you can eat your own self grown pineapple. They make a nice looking plant while growing.

You've already seen a plant. Look at the top of a pineapple. The green top is actually a new plant. You can cut off the top, with about 2-3 inches of the pineapple flesh, and plant it. It grows into a spiny, 2-5 ft plant, and blooms. A bromelied, it puts out a flower spike from the center, which turns into the pineapple plant.

They grow above ground on a very low type tree about three feet high.
