Has anyone had any luck growing a pineapple from its crown [top]?
Heard it is possible. Appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Cut off the top with about 1 inch of flesh.
Cut down arounf the crown leaving a "plug with leaves"
Peel back and remove the outer leaves until you find nodules (it will be
clear when you do)
Suspend over a glass with 3 coctail sticks witht he end in the water.
Wait till root growth fills the glass then plant very carefully in soft
compost as the roots are fragile.
