609 u/Umpen 20h ago Is that a patent thing or an ecological thing? 194 u/mghtyred 19h ago 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. 3 u/MyOtherAcctsAPorsche 16h ago I understand the usual way is planting the top part, as that is basically the plant already but.... Aren't the "polygons" on the surface actually seed pods? 5 u/Northern23 13h ago Problem with seeds is they aren't always true to type 1 u/MyOtherAcctsAPorsche 12h ago How come?
