I was watching a gardening show on DIY yesterday and they had a segment
about planting a Pineapple. In the segment, the host takes a pineapple,
twists the top off, and puts it in water to let it grow roots.

Has anyone tried this and been successful? If so, did you use a pineapple
from the supermarket or...?

I have one; I twisted the top off the pineapple and then let it dry out for
a few days. Peeled the bottom leaves off to expose the adventitious root
bumps, and planted it in some well drained potting soil. It has about
doubled in size in a year, but I haven't been taking very good care of it
over the winter. I'll put it in a bigger pot outside when the weather gets
warm (June?).

My brother has a bunch of pineapple seedlings. Grown from seeds taken from
a golden pineapple.

Best regards,
Bob
