  • I pull the suckers off and plant them too. Home grown pineapple is awesome.

    I have grown and have eaten my first home grown pineapple last year in the searing desert of Saudi Arabia. Now I have 5 pups and suckers from two plants and I lost two because of neglect. 3 of the pups already have fruits. Thanks to my son who came back home and suggested we plant them in the raised bed. The variety is Indian with thorny leaves but I don’t mind. I will wear gloves when I deal with them.I would love to try other varieties but the supermarket one arrives with the heart (top) gutted out and dry. Those come from the Philippines.thanks for the info David.
  • @janebadon3988
    Gonna try this after years of rotting the tops in water.

    After trying for many years I finally listen to you and followed your instructions on growing avocado. Now I have several. One is 3' tall. I will follow your instructions for pineapples. One word of caution for others. Chickens love pineapples.

    Expose the root nubs, cut the plant in quarters. Plant the four pieces for four new plants. A pup will grow out from each quartered piece you planted.

    They also like a acid soil. Mine do great under my oak trees. I never fertilize.

    I've been doing this WRONG!? The new results will be immeasurable, thanks David the Good! I'll grow MONSTER pineapples now😁
  • @agapefield
    Going to get a few pineapples at my grocery and grow them!
  • I tryed rooting in water and that is how you grow mosquitoes in your kitchen window.
  • @tenbears2335
    Dude....talk about cosmic timing. I bought 4 pineapple plants off Amazon and this is a huge help. Also, for what it's worth that coca tree you turned me on to is doing great. 5 new leaves all coming in at once. You are a wealth of information and I appreciate it. Ty.
  • @shepatown
    I've been doing it a wrong - but I'm learning. Thanks!
  • @joblo497
    U can't beat the glorious sweetness of a fully ripened pineapple straight off the plant.. delectable!
  • My mom gave me one she started. Such a beautiful little plant. My dog ate it. I found half of one leaflet so I guess it was yummy, too.
  • @colindevane
    hahaaa who were those ladies at the end!? lol. As usual love your vids man thank you!
  • @retheisen
    If you want to go the extreme rooting route, that stripped top can be sliced into multiple cuttings that can root out 4, 6 or maybe even 8 new plants.
  • Good morning, David. I just finished your book, "Free Plants for Everyone." Your encouragement has led me to become a "cutting collector." It never hurts to ask homeowners if you may safely take a cutting from their trees. The worst they can say is, "No, get out of here!" I discovered our local Community Garden, tended by some school groups under a City Administered program. I asked if I may have some suckers from the fig tree. Their reply? "Need any tools?" That's a true Community Garden. Ps- wore my "Compost Your Enemies" shirt and received many green thumbs up! πŸˆπŸ‹πŸ₯­πŸ‘πŸŒ»πŸ‘πŸˆπŸ‹πŸ₯­
