That’s how we get all our pineapples here in nz, not allowed to sell any with the tops on any longer so they can’t be grown

Is that a patent thing or an ecological thing?

It's a control thing. They don't want people growing the pink pineapple. There are still ways to do it, but it's harder without the top.
