Yes, lots of bananas, citrus, avocados, mangoes and then service species such as Senna spectabilis, Pterogyne nites, leucaena, Peltophorium dubium, Cupania sp. and a bunch of others
how much cm you have from one pineapple to another? seems like have more pineapple in the line than a monoculture, will the pineapple size be good anyway?
The overall population is the same as monoculture, I just changed the design by distancing rows farther apart and putting them close together. I used from 20cm to 30cm in-row distance and have been having decent results. I'm more interested in having high yield per hectare than big fruits though, because the idea is to dehydrate the pineapples. They're coming to flowerr now, so soon there'll be updates on the size of the fruits
After the harvest, I’ll collect the pups and probably eliminate the plants. My prickly pears will be pretty big by then. I might, as an alternative, give the system a bit of a prune and allow for the basal pups to come through and produce a second crop.
What's Ripening? Yeah, you can do it, but they’ll take up space from one another, because they occupy the same strata and have similar life cycles. So you can have them together, but then you cant have neither pineapples in maximum nor turmeric in maximum density
please explain this system with pineaple better,
what species were used and what spacing, if have another fruits?

Thank you!!!!
Wot do you do with the pineaple plants after harvest? Can you make a video about?
Yes, I can and will, but in the meantime, might I suggest this video, from Mathew Reece: th-cam.com/video/c0HsysqqsNQ/w-d-xo.html
Did you say that you will remove the pineapple later? Replant them elsewhere?
Would it be a poor choice to plant pineapple in with turmeric? Seems to work for me but I haven't done it at high density yet
