You MUST have been in Honolulu oh I;d say about 10 years ago on April 1st (April Fools Day). That is the only time I can ever recall seeing a pineapple in a tree. Some prankster climbed quite a few palm trees in Waikiki and tied pineapples on them. It was not only hilarious, but it also made the front page of the news!!
I'm sure by now you've already figured out that pineapples grow on plants not trees.

The pineapple grows not on a tree or a bush, but from a crown that is close to the ground. There are no branches, but only long serrated leaves. The pineapple grows up from the center of the crown and develops in a nest of this long, stiff foliage.

Pineapples do not come from trees, but rather are a schrub, a bush. The thing you know as a pineapple is actually the trunk much like a tree, but at a close to the ground level, similar to a cactus. Other plants like cabbage, lettuce and such are in the same family I think, or at least grow in the same manner, the part we eat is the trunk of the plant, not the fruit as in a watermelon or tomato or the root as in a potato or carrot.

The Pineapple is a Bromeliad, not a schrub, and grows very close to the ground.
There are many many different varieties with "the Golden" being the sweetest. Read the book Hawaii for some interesting information on them and the settling of the islands.

Grow your own pineapple: Cut the top off of a pineapple. Remove the lower leaves -- about 2 inches will do. Plunk the result in potting soil, covering the stem (where you removed the leaves) with potting soil. Water, wait, and watch. Foliage will grow -- roots are growing. You will see a stem from the center of the leaves develope and on top of that stem a little pineapple will form. Let it mature. Enjoy.

you have already seen a plant. look on the precise of a pineapple. the fairway precise is actual a clean plant. you are able to decrease off the precise, with approximately 2-3 inches of the pineapple flesh, and plant it. It grows right into a spiny, 2-5 feet plant, and blooms. A bromelied, it places out a flower spike from the middle, which will become the pineapple plant.

I've never tried to climb one...only because they aren't grown on a tree, but a low growing spikey looking plant. I do remember from school that Washington personally grew pineapples in his hot house in Mt. Vernon. Don't really like them, so never bothered learning anymore about them..sorry!

Surf it up on google, pineapples grow on a pineapple bush not a tree.

pineapples don't grow on a tree but rather on a low bush
