Did you all know? Pineapple takes 18 months to grow and each pineapple plant produces just one pineapple. Phew!!! wonder the amount of patience required in pineapple cultivation. It is too high.
I just read that we can grow pineapple by planting the top of the pineappple.
I am planning to cut the top of the pineapple and plant it in my garden. Hopefully in 18 months or so, I will be eating my home grown pineapple :) . This way I can test my patience(18 months)
