My wife’s parents have many trees in the DR. Whatever the variety is that grows there. They’re in a very good place for growing things. They used to grow coffee and cacao possibly too I believe. In fact they still might have some.

If you buy a whole pineapple, cut off the top and plant it, you'll have a pineapple plant.

Correct....but to keep them going you twist the small Ratoons from between the Mother plants leaves...root them...then plant them...Mother plant ALWAYS dies after fruiting...but leaves the adolescent ratoons for future growing...

So when you say twist them, do you mean twist and take out of the ground and re-pot or plant?

No....just twist the Ratoon (small pineapple plant) that grows between the Mother plants leaves...and it pops right out...alot of times there are multiple Ratoons (adolescent plants)

I find they thrive on neglect. I literally do nothing and they fruit like crazy. The last patch left is on the south side of the house and is overrun by weeds. Yet the fruit keeps coming if I can get to it before the rabbits.

That sucks. You take care of that stuff and watch the growth for months and then they’re gone
