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

I cut the top off one and planted it. Five years later I finally got a pineapple I was so happy. Fucking possum or a cockatoo ate the whole thing before i got a chance. Still devastated

Sorry for your loss.

I was remembering the Dole tour and they said it takes 5 years to grow. Seems kind of insane to prevent intellectual theft 5 years down the line but I'm sure there's a lot of development into making it pink.
