@italianjob85 Yes, the store bought pineapples work as well as the home grown ones. I started off with a 1/2 dozen pineapples from the farmers market. Any good quality potting soil will grow pineapples. You gonna grow pineapples Tony?
They do well in my subtropical location like just north of Sydney (Newcastle) in Australia which is near where I live so I've even planted them outside because the year I planted the first lot of plants (2019) it got down to about 2°C (36°F) overnight during winter so it didn't get below freezing but it got close to it then that summer we got 45°C (113°F) days. I am still waiting for them to flower 🌸. which I hope is this spring (September-November) then by next Autumn I can harvest them as they were grown from tops. I fertilize mine once every 3 months in the warmer weather when the roots are established, they only take 1 week to grow !
Here our coldest winter temp is 50 F. The plants tolerate the conditions fine. In California the roots would rot in winter even when there was no frost just from steady low temperatures. Good luck with your plants. It sounds like you might just be on the right climatic side of success.
I actually got one to fruit outdoors in Hayward in norcal in ground. Two years in a pot,one full year+ in ground and it has a little fruit on it in October. I guess I can harvest sometime next spring making it almost 4 years from the day I twisted the top off a Dole. For fun,not profits! I did get fruit off a potted one in about under 2 years by a sunny window indoors..but the fruit was the size of an apple.
Using the Hilo White I used to fruit pineapples in CA using 3 gallon pots and a solar greenhouse. With proper feeding the fruit would be 2 to 4 pound each. I stopped bothering though because no matter what i did the quality never matched the stuff grown in Hawaii. I kept it up just because the potted pineapple were a good sales item in CA.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 Other than Mango,I haven't found bay area tropicals up to tropical grown. Cherimoya and White Sapote are exceptions. Guava's? eh. Bananas?..At least they look good in the garden. Another long wait too. Its why I planted over the last couple of years,Santa Rosa plum and Hass Avocado. Enough experimenting.
@@StanTheObserver-lo8rx I did fine with Nam Wah, Orinoco and Ice Cream bananas in Fremont. I also raised a number of guavas there and eventually donated them to the Quarry Lakes regional Park. I grafted a Hass avocado on a bacon seedling there and got about 150 fruit in two years time but cold weather killed the tree. Hass is too tender for the Bay Area in general. It grows for a while but then fails in cold snaps. Mexican avocados are far more reliable in Norcal.
Vegetable foods, flower foods and fruit tree foods are generally very close in formulation. They are interchangeable. I use a wide variety of fertilizers. Pay attention to the numbers on the bag, not the picture.
You can grow pineapples in Memphis if you have a greenhouse. Growing in the Mainland USA can only be done outdoors with risk in south Florida, south California. Hawaii is the only state where the pineapple is a sure thing as a garden crop. It is a fun thing to play around with anywhere because they are easy to grow.
I'm in Central California, zone 9b, and the pineapple pups I had in pots over the winter are now transplanted in the garden and dying...getting smaller and smaller. So I ordered 4 white pineapple pups and planted them in the ground a few weeks ago, and they are slowly dying. In all eight pineapple plants I bought through the mails, the pot they arrived in was the size of my thumb. It may be that I should have raked the root ball to free up the roots before planting, but that's a guess. Then I read somewhere that somebody had luck growing young pineapples in dappled light.
I’m in south Florida and of the 3 tops that I potted in August of last year 2 already have baby pineapples that have been growing for 3 months already. They’re huge and very healthy looking
I'm in NC- no greenhouse, but my pineapples are in pots to bring inside- I've even had my plants fruit in my classroom. My classroom smelled like fresh pineapples. YUM.
@GreenGardenGuy1 Yeah I'm thinking about doing a little home business involving plants, and always loved the idea of growing pineapples. I've been trying to talk my dad into letting me build a greenhouse no dice yet.
I will definitely try that. I had a pineapple top in the ground several years ago, not in full sun and it didn't die but didn't seem to grow, so I ended up pulling it out of the ground. It was in the ground for maybe 2 years. And it would be good to get a better tasting pineapple than the genetically altered Aussie pineapple. I think I told you before a guy I follow in QLD grew pineapples and he used the normal shop bought crown off the pineapple. It grew and he got a superior tasting pineapple, he claimed that it was a throwback to an earlier variety. For the life of me, Aussie's seem to get it wrong when they experiment e.g. the second most common mango grown in Australia, R2E2 is crap and quite a number of nurseryman agree. The R2E2 mango is the second most common mango grown in Australia it is a cross between the KP (Kensington Pride) or Bowen Mango and the Kent mango. The other fairly new mango, Calypso may look good but again it is a failure in the taste department and is a cross between the KP and Sensation mangoes. I think the mango judges in Australia haven't a clue with regard to a good tasting mango when they put forward some of these new Australian developed mangoes. Well atleast my nectarines are coming along in size, still a good 4 or more weeks away from harvest. They are truly glorious in flavour, the best tasting nectarines I have ever tried. The rats may have gone which is good and even doesn't seem like there are fruit flies around, hopefully it stays that way. Flavour top nectarine variety developed in Fresno, California from what I have read. I prefer nectarines to mangoes, but I still like mangoes heaps. And your pineapples could be better still flavour wise. I think they could give the Queen Victoria pineapple competition, that was my favourite tropical fruit, with lychees a close second when in my wife's home country. I don't think there would be much fruit I don't like, but maybe I wouldn't be a big fan of yellow sapote? if it has a pumpkin / sweet potato flavour, because I am not a big fan of either vegetable. Having said that though, one year I worked on a mine site and the normal chef didn't cook that night and I think I had a pumpkin /sweet potato soup and thought it was OK. I think you said you grow most of the sapote's. I told you I wasn't a fan of the white sapote, don't know the particular variety. Black sapote intrigues me, chocolate pudding fruit. I remember listening on the local Perth radio, a gardening program and the horticulturist, a fairly renowned expert said she didn't care for the black sapote flavour wise, but then I used to know someone who liked the black sapote. Obviously everyone has different taste. And a final good note a couple of asparagus spears have reared apart from only 2 that are currently visible, not enough and too young but I guess given a few more years and thick enough to harvest. Just a final observation, I told you I had a raspberry in a pot, well it's growing well and flowering, but I'm wondering if the flowers will turn into fruit. Do they require bees or insects to pollinate them, I should have asked the nurseryman before I bought it.
I've never had a problem with raspberries setting fruit. I believe wind and many other insects do the work. Most common fruit types in wide production in the USA leave a lot to be desired too. Mostly they are grown because they yield well and ship even better. I collect pineapple varieties and have around 3 dozen. They have all been selected for various purposes including for canning. Most leave a lot to be desired. The few that are really excellent don't ship well. Since profit on the farm is all about shipping I am not surprised the local pineapples are not so good. The culture of this delicious white pineapple in Hawaii owes it's success to lots of small farmers. The large scale farms do not mess with it because it is very perishable. Often the best quality can only be maintained on the smallest farms.
Yes, of course I completely forgot about shipping. For fruit export I guess that would be the most important factor. I remember reading about the Tommy Atkins mango which is the variety that I occasionally see in the local supermarket. It is grown in the US and Mexico. I think it's certainly acceptable to eat, but I have seen where someone and maybe many have said it's not a particularly good mango, but it ships well. I know they grow the Valencia Pride mango, but in the north of my state and it is good and one called Ataulfo which I have occasionally seen in the local shop and that is another good one. I'm not sure if they grow that variety in my state or if it's imported from Mexico. Even though I have a mango tree and usually get some mangoes/year, I never buy Kensington Pride Mangoes because they're usually too expensive. If I see Nam Doc Mai variety or some other uncommon mango variety I will usually buy it just to see what it is like. Nam Doc Mai variety is supposed to be a top SE Asian variety, I have never seen it here in Perth, but I have seen it in other Australian cities. That is interesting about your pineapples, do the different varieties have subtley different flavours. That would be interesting to see. I was blown away by the Queen Victoria pineapple of Mauritius and it is grown in Reunion island and South Africa. Perhaps it doesn't ship well, but it is crazy good. If I thought of only one tropical fruit to have above all others, it would be that, unforgettable flavour. Your pineapples could be crazy good to. I refuse to buy Aussie pineapples and I have never seen non Australian pineapples in the shops here.
@@johnmanera4097 I buy fruit from our local farmers here in Hawaii, most of it is pretty darn good to excellent but I won't buy fruit from the stores. It is always a disappointment. You have put your finger on why I grow so much fruit. It is the only way to maintain variety and quality control.
I started six Dole pineapples last year & will be harvesting three fruits this summer from them along with about ten suckers. On my way to a goal of 100 pineapples here in FL. I'm still a little unclear about whether to leave basal suckers on the plant after fruiting? Remove all, or leave one attached?
You can leave a couple ratoon suckers on the original plant after fruiting. They will fruit the following year. After that it is best to pull the original plant and start from fresh. When I got behind on things i actually had a pineapple fruit on eight of it's suckers. Most of the fruit was excellent size. How this works out depends on the variety of pineapple you use.
Just a reminder: Let the slips grow to about the size you see in the video before pulling them. If you pull them out any smaller than that, they may not produce roots to regrow. If two smaller shoots pop up just below a pineapple, I rip them off because they're taking water away from my pineapple in it's production process.
I have 36 different pineapple varieties here and not a single one of them acts the same. Some never bloom others do. Some produce up to ten slips some only make two. Etc. Generalizations can only be made when discussing a specific variety of the plant. I find small slips to be hard to use in the field but they work great in the nursery. On the types I raise every slip, no matter what size will grow if planted properly. We strip most suckers but leave two on plants that are to be held in the same position for a second cropping. Large ones are used in the field and small ones are planted in containers for nursery sales.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 That's a good idea. I just started letting the pups grow to a good size until carefully ripping them out of soil at the base of the mother plants and re-potting them in nursery size containers. I re-pot all the slips, ratoon suckers in the big 15 gallon containers when they get to a good size. I'll dig up all the plants and add in newer soil every 4-5 years.
Pineapple fruits bought from us in Germany are less suitable for propagation because they have been on the road for too long. therefore I propagate mine from my own plants, which are fresh and have offshoots.
I am surprised the fruit is still good if the tops are that badly damaged. Pineapple slips left in the shade will survive in good condition for many months in Hawaii. I've seen them stay over 6 months under my citrus trees.
Not all varieties of pineapple produce that many suckers my store bought ones have very few suckers my sugarloaf I just picked 6 off it and I see 3 more suckers coming along.
I have used store brought pineapple from the grocery store in pots- regular potting soil- to get bigger pineapples , I have recently been told, a lady who gets big ones- to throw apple seed in the middle of it, while it's growing.
Your weather is what ever your weather is, no way to control that. Pineapples like humid tropical weather with good drainage and abundant rainfall. A dry spell during flowering help prevent some disease in the flowers.
Why would a person want to dip the suckers in oil? If you are referring to control of wax scale dipping would kill the plants. The oil must be diluted with mostly water, kept agitated so it doesn't separate and then spray as a mist to smother the insect. I never treat for the insect unless it is on nursery stock. On pineapples in the field it doesn't cause enough damage to be concerned with.
If you are growing the same Hilo White Pineapples that I have and can fruit it in 12 months I need some of your stock. In Hawaii it takes 2 years to fruit the white. Only the acid yellow type will fruit that fast.
@@lovenotes5299 No reason to be sorry. I also have one variety of yellow pineapple that will fruit in a years time. It is a really good pineapple from Florida but in the market it is only worth a fraction of the white pineapple price. Top quality yellow fruit sell for around $3 each here but the white fruits are $3 to $6 per pound depending on the type.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 Wow! That's a big difference in price! I live in the country but I have to bring them in the house over the winter- even though its the south, it gets too cold.
Thank you. This is the easiest video I’ve seen so far. You are great at explaining the growth and propagation of suckers..
