    Thanks! Yes, 7 years, lol. One of them produced a pineapple last year, so I’m going to see if I can get them to fruit again next year. I always thought pineapples were one-and-done, but I guess not!

      Wait, really?? Looked it up to be certain and they seem not to normally produce multiple pineapples. Treasure that sucker, literally and metaphorically. You might have a million dollar plant on your hands!

        I am wondering if maybe it split off a new pineapple plant? I started off with one and it divided itself into 3, so I repotted all of them. Anyway, point being, I know they can divide.

        But also, maybe it’s because I’m forcing it to flower? After waiting 7 years with no luck I decided to use calcium carbide tablets which worked like a charm.

      How did you remove the pineapple last year? Cut the whole stalk off at the plant , right below the pineapple, something else?

        I cut the stalk off at the base and then removed the stalk from the pineapple.

      My first pineapple fruited about 18 months ago, and then grew 5 pups? Storks? I was expecting 2-3 from what I read so I was pretty excited.

      I also planted 3 more between 9-12 months, so was hoping something would grow this summer (Australia) but might have to wait for next year. I haven’t seen any signs of fruiting yet.

        Ah, pups! Weirdly mine haven’t made any yet. Hoping it makes some this year. I did root the top of the pineapple that I grew last year, though, so now I have 3.
