Jim You're winning! I bought a couple small ones on e-bay, they are about a foot tall. I hope they don't drown in all this rain - I have them in one gallon pots until I figure out where to put them when (if) the rain ever stops.

Cameron - I love growing the pineapples too. I twist off the tops too then peel off several of the botom leaves, you can see the little white roots ready to sprout. I let it dry for a couple days in a cool dark place before placing in soil. Takes about a year to get a pineapple. http://s2.postimage....
