One time I tried to grow pineapple and then someone walked up and smacked it off the stock.

And then it died.

And ever since that day, I've been too traumatized to try to grow pineapples again.

But nevertheless, I will persevere.

And I will grow them again, I'm starting very soon.

And so today we will talk about some ways that you can grow pineapples.

Pineapples are a type of ramelead.

They're one of the few that you can actually eat, the fruit of.

Very interesting.

They grow in a very funky, weird way.

They take a couple years to do it.

And they're absolutely delicious.

I'm talking 970 to 1,400 days to harvest.

Come on.

You think someone would think about that before they would knock the pineapple off of the stock.

So the pineapple we know used to be divided into five separate species.

We know them as five varieties within one species now.

And they're just a very funky plant.

They grow in a bush-like rosette formation with the spiny leaves that branch off of a pretty

gnarly, substantial trunk, especially when it gets older.

They will emerge directly from the base of a transplanted pineapple, which we're going

to get into.
