How to Grow:
Take a whole pineapple and cut off the top. Remove any excess fruit and skin from around the leaves. Put the top in a small bowl containing water and a little epsom salt. Keep the water level just 1/8 to 1/4 inch above the bottom of the leaves. Check frequently, and add water as needed. Put the plant and bowl in a sunny window for two weeks.
Transplant the pineapple into a pot filled with potting soil. A sandy mixture is best as they like dry, well drained soil. The soil should be kept moist to allow the new roots to develop and grow.
As your Pineapple begins to grow, new leaves will come out from the center of the plant. Remove unsightly old leaves as they die off to provide more light and air to the new leaves. Once your plant is established, the soil should be allowed to dry out a bit between watering. Water plants from the top, including the leaves. Kept in a warm sunny window, it will grow all winter long.
In the spring, your pineapple plant can be brought outside. Set it out in a container, or plant it directly into your garden after all risk of frost has past. Pineapples, like warmth and sunshine.

Don't believe "Shaker454" they do not go IN the ground but on top from a plant that looks just like the top leaves of the pineapple that you buy in the grocery store. The new pineapple will come out of the center of the old top that gets planted. This site can give you more info... http://www.rbgkew.org.uk/ksheets/pineapple.html

I don't, but it can be done. Plant a pineapple in the ground leaving the green top part out.

YES... NEXT TIME YOUR PURCHASE A FRESH WHOLE PINEAPPLE.....CUT THE GREEN TOP OFF LEAVING ONLY AN INCH OR SO AT THE BOTTOM...PLANT LIKE ANY OTHER HOUSE PLANT....CAREFUL NOT TO OVERWATER....JUST A BIT EVERY THREE OR FOUR DAYS..... GIVE IT MIRACLE GROW IN THE WATER AT FIRST.....IT WILL SPROUT ROOTS AND GROW LARGER FROM THE CENTER OF THE TOP.....BUT PROBABLY NOT GIVE FRUIT....

no, they are born from eggs laid by the pine trees after having mated with apple trees.
I think you meant " do pineapples grow on plants, or trees, or in the ground?"
The answer is, they grow in the ground, like potatos and peanuts, onions and such.
