Pineapple is one of my favorite fruits. I've known you can restart the tops after cutting them, but never gave it much thought until recently. I watched a video on youtube which showed how to start one in water, and around the same time I read about a guy fruiting one in Minnesota. I thought I'd give it a try. Sure, it'll likely take a year, but what the heck.
- Twist and pull the top off of a fresh pineapple.
- Pull the brown leaves off the bottom, row by row until the little brown roots are showing.
- Trim the brown leaves with a scissor.
- Place in water and let sit in sunny location for a few days changing the water each day until little white roots form. Some more leaves will likely turn brown, just trim them back.
- Plant in some soil and leave in a sunny spot.
- Wait. It will take months before you get a pineapple to eat.
