I planted some pineapples years ago and they finally made fruit this year. Sadly, they were planted in a windy spot and the fruit stalk buckled and the fruit fell before it was fully ripe.
The fruit sprouted many new heads and the mother plant had many suckers, all of which were ready for transplanting.
I located a perfect location for them in a tropical micro-climate zone of my farm, but first we harvested the purple sweet potatoes that had been growing in the garden throughout the summer.
Next we planted the new pineapple heads in raised beds. Hopefully this warm and wind protected location will allow the plants to thrive and produce many tasty fruits for the future.
