So planting at least 1 every month will guarantee that after the first 8months you get at least 1 pineapple every month (if the seeds make it) :) Interesting Michael… so, if you want a continuous crop you just plant every month and not wait 8 mo and 8 mo?

We're on the third round. Thus far, it has taken about 8 mos. from the time we plant the top until we harvest VERY large beautiful (and tasty!) golden pineapples. I've noticed nothing "seasonal" about the process. It took 8 mos. for the first one; 8 mos. for the second one. We do only one pineapple at a time, grown in a large pot on our patio.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for Pina Cabezona! I wish I knew the different varieties of pinas that we currently have growing, but I never took care to note since I wasn't sure if they would ever produce anything. Fran & Steve - We have several pinas growing now and only one has fruited (<a href="http://ca2pr.com/2009/04/19/omg-a-pineapple/" rel="nofollow">the same one that gave us a pina last April</a>), so maybe if you space out when you plant the pineapple (varying when they reach maturity), perhaps you will get a pina or two every few months? According to the internet, pineapple "season" is March thru July. Katrina - YUM! It was probably a year and a half before our pineapple gave us fruit. How long have yours been in the ground?

Our pineapples haven't done a thing - we have 3 plants that are alive and the rest I think rotted. Grilled pineapple with a decadent drizzle (or dip) of Nutela.

Yum. So... if you eat them all this year, you have to wait a couple of years before another crop? Is there a way to get them every year? Also, I've heard you can't use fresh pineapple in jello, something about the acidity not letting it jell. But there are so many ways to enjoy it! BTW, my abuela said pineapple was used in her day as a cure for intestinal worms. Fran Excellent pineapple information! Yum.

Its the pineapple variety for which PR is well known worldwide. Here is a good link with more info: http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/pineapple.html Enjoy! H. Stefan and Summer,
