I see others have answered, but thought I'd mention a book the library
*might* have. I read about pineapples, and all the other plants he
grew from other "leftovers,"it's: The After Dinner Gardening Book.

I *must* have that book! I *love* growing things from unlikely seeds
or cuttings. Usually have a spindly avocado around, and am still
trying with citrus. Now if I could just grow shrimp from a shrimp
shell... :-)

With avocadoes, nip the stem quite early to make a bushier plant.

We used to have a little orange tree in our house in Michigan, from a seed from
an orange, of course. We also had a peach tree in the back yard from a peach
pit.

No way I've tryed my whole life when I was a kid to grow a peach and
my mom said it would never work and still I tried time and time again
and nothing never got one how did you do it did you just put it in the
ground and wamo it grew?
I never got an orange seed to sprout either

There's a peach tree growing in my front yard that volunteered, grew
from a fallen peach. Elberta peach tree was the parent, offspring
could be either self-pollinated peach or could be at that time there
were other peach and nectarines growing in the yard, but I'm pretty
sure it's just a self-pollinated elberta peach offspring.

The After-Dinner Gardening Book by Richard W. Langer is out of print,
but if you do a search on it, you'll find many prices from 99 cents to
$16.99 are the two extremes I saw in just a couple minutes, probably
could be found on e-bay too. Never can tell ;-)
