    How long since you planted them? Were they tops or slips?

    I think they are different variety's. As one only bore fruit last year. They other is about 2 years old. I have been growing them for years and they normally take 2 years. I always plant tops. I soak then in a glass of water until they start roots and then just plant them.

    I usually take a few rows of the bottom leaves off , let the stump dry out for about a week before putting it in a jar of water. Once roots get to a decent size into the ground.

    You have a second one coming up beside it? That is how our last years one developed. Hence one this year from the same plant

    I put this one in the pot about this time last year so looks like another year before we get fruit. IMAG1629.jpg We bought the pineapple when we were up the Sunshine Coast last year , it was a very sweet fruit so I bought the top home & planted it.
