Im in the Caribbean and shipping that prob wont work for me but i see someone selling the tops on Amazon...hmm free ad for them ....id love to try it as im creating a pineapple patch among other things....one possible correction tho is that in my experience pineapple crows have no problem growing roots in water (before you plant it) and i consider it a plant that is both water and drought resistant in that sense. Y
Also the other fruit Americans never get quality in general in the grocery is mango....but i understand there are orchards in Florida and other places where real mangoes can be experienced
Bro, you have the best veganic permaculture channel.
I miss watching your videos! I know what I'm going to do during my PTO from my essential job as a medical device assembler. This was the first video that came up when I looked it up. I love pineapple and the enzymes, bromelain, are perfect for breaking down meat.
Guys, I grow pineapple in New Jersey. Just plant the top in a large pot, bring it outdoors after your last frost so it gets good sun during the warm months and bring it indoors before the first frost. Mine have all flowered in December (I think the shock of coming indoors encourages flowering) and the fruit is ripe in July. I started with three tiny plants, and with all the pups and tops they grow I’m now up to about 20 plants. It takes a couple of years to get fruit, but when you pick truly ripe, yellow pineapple it’s delicious. They’re actually much easier to grow than I ever thought...you just need patience. It takes longer than an annual plant like watermelon to get fruit, but less time than a fruit tree. And they make cool houseplants in the winter.
Wow, thanks!
what size pot would I need to put it in?
Michele Paccione good to know... I’m in ny and hope to be able to propagate these... I may need to consult you☺️
You’re going to have to get a greenhouse for your pineapples. 🤣
They flower because of less hours of light
THANK YOU JOHN!!!! THANK YOU FOR CONSTANTLY PRODUCING HIGH-QUALITY VIDEOS. MUCH APPRECIATED!
Yes! LOVE the EXTRA-LONG, EXTRA-THOROUGH information! John is THE BEST RUclips teacher for those with the intellectual curiosity and want to learn everything they can about gardening. Those with the attention of a 5-year-old should stick to mainstream TV!
I’m so glad you’re covering this. I’ve been growing these for the past 5-6 years since my trip to kuwaii. Best pineapple you’ll ever have
Good video! I grow these here in Florida. I brought 3 back from Hawaii about 8 years ago and I now have 180 plants in the ground. By far the best pineapple on the market!! I have emailed Jude a few times over the years and she was always willing to share advise! Most of my pineapples are about 3-8lbs. I've had a bunch of 7-8lb pineapples and they have always tasted great! Thanks again for the video and thank you Jude!
That's awesome, thanks for sharing.
Hi Mark.. question do you sell/ ship Sugar Loaf pineapples within Florida? I live in South Florida.
I know you posted this comment like a yr. Ago but just on the off chance do u sale the tops so other's can grow one at home I live in CA
The best video about a PINEAPPLE ever, the longest but the best! Thank you John 🤜🤛
Finally i see what all that fruit actually does for you. It helps you be able to squeeze the fruit juice out manually. Worth it
Thank you for supporting an American family-owned small farm.
Oh my gosh. Pineapples are my FAVORITE THING! I placed my order. It’s half my paycheck but dude, I cannot wait! 🍍🍍🍍🥰
Update: the pineapples arrived and were as delicious as you might imagine. It broke my heart when I ate the last of it. Will definitely order more OR move to Hawaii.
@@Zathauntie Cool update!
It took me two days to completely watch this 😂😂 but it was completely worth it. Ive been growing pineapples and the information you provided gave me some major insight. Thanks so much
I love John’s content. He does a fantastic job IMOP.
Lol
So stoked on this video, my auntie lives on that island and when I go visit her, I’m definitely gonna have to go on a tour .
I grow pineapples in my garden. I learned a lot from your video. Thanks so much! I'm going to put into practice what I learned. I have 2 pineapples growing currently. Thanks again John. 🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍
I really loved this video. John I went to Jude's website & I couldn't believe that you recommend buying a 3 pack or any size of this pineapple. I don't think I've ever bought any pineapple from a store before, but there is no way I would pay nearly $90.00 for 3 pineapples. On top of that I'd have to pay $40.00 - $80.00 in shipping. Sorry about the negative review.
Hi Jim, I know right. It seems crazy. Here’s a few things I know cause I live here: Part of the reason shipping costs are so high is because a) they must go as fast as possible and b) they must clear department of Ag , which is highly stringent. then as you can see from this video it takes two years, a lot of love, and a lot of work to produce one fruit. So you’d think when you can get a pineapple at the grocery store for under $10 why would you pay 3x the price? Well, I can tell you haven’t tasted one. It’s nothing, I mean NOTHING like what you get in the store. It’s like eating spam versus eating prize-winning bbq. And even if it’s sugarloaf variety (which is rare) if it hasn’t been cared for at this level, it won’t be as sweet. You can’t compare to other pineapples. A better comparison is maybe another gift. Would you spend $90 on a nice gift to yourself or others? Most people do. And you may be surprised to hear that they regularly sell out of pineapples. It is seasonal, so you can only get them at harvest time. And yup, enough people now know about them that they often run out. You may see the price of these go even higher if this keeps up!
We need a video on the dragon fruit,John!
I ordered three yesterday! I also added a note letting them know that I heard about them from you! I can't wait to receive them (along with the small free one) soon! I also plan on growing some from the tops! Thanks John for turning me us on to this special pineapple fruit/ flower!
I did it. Trust me, you won't regret it.
@@donspencer2110 Thanks Don! I received my order yesterday! I plan to cut them up, freeze them and processing them with a Champion Juicer!
@@dawsonian2000 I'm glad you got your order, Did you taste one? I'm about to place my fourth order. I'm now addicted.
John , I recently found your videos and have really enjoyed watching them . You are a walking library in gardening, I have learned so much from your videos,thank you. Just subbed too!
31:20 "What time do you feed your pineapple plants? The answer you are looking for is not the daytime." Thanks you, John!
Hey, John! Love your videos as they are very comprehensive in the information they offer! I love that they’re nice and LONG and thorough. You keep me company in the kitchen the entire time I’m cooking and then when I clean up afterwards! No need to stop what I’m doing to find another video to play! Keep up the fantastic work with those EXTRA-LONG and info and interest-packed videos! LOVE ‘em! Keep ‘em coming!
I bought these pineapples... they are delicious!! I did what you said John about growing my own... they were doing great!! It got cold here, and i forgot to bring them in!! They are dead, i havent pulled them up yet to check the roots. I am praying that something lived. I am going to put a root stimulator on it!! wish me luck!!
I never knew to snap the top off. Thank you so much!
They are delicious! I ordered one a few years ago to try with my family and now I order some every year.
@avgrim77 the tops grow easy. I grow mine in a small greenhouse. I started with 10. I have around 100 now after 3 years.
What a great video! My family
Used to have a sugar and pineapple plantation on the misty side of Oahu!
We supplied DOLE fruit company and C n H sugar company for many years! ❤❤
"Every creature wants to reproduce... including me", so true but hilarious lol.
I'd reproduce with John anyday.😘😍🤣😂
@@heathere8488 lol 😆
@@heathere8488 Contact him, let him know. He's waiting for you.
This had me cracking up!!! LOL
He would reproduce with you too , have ya seen his videos..?
Wow! Really great video! Thanks so much! ☺👍
This farm and its owners are incredible, I order from them as much as I can afford to. Hands down the finest pineapple in the world!
Have you grown any from the tops?
I take the core and put it in some water to let it soak. It soaks & turns into a fruit drink 😍😍💛
Wow! That’s fantastic to know. Thank you for saying so. I’m crazy about pineapple
I have several growing in my yard. My friend get's a couple from that farm you're at weekly and he plants the tops in a container and gives them away to neighbors.
I want to visit Hawaii for the first time just to visit this pineapple place lol!!! Only in Kawai.
Calling my travel agent now!
I can't praise John enough for this great informative video! Though it may not be that important, he missed out telling viewers that pineapple is native of southern Brazil and Paraguay. Also, not necessarily a bad thing, that the replanting of yellow pineapples results in smaller sized ones in the next two crops.
I would love to make a wine out of this pineapple.
Lol
Yall cann calll it
Wineapple😂
Do It!!!
I live in NC and have grown many pineapples in pots. In fact, I just planted a new one.
I love planting mine in pots to all of my neighbors think they are Yucca plants when they find out is pineapple They don't believe it
Tremendously useful info as I reside on neibor isle and have collected dozens of pineapple tops that need planting. I have seen pineapple fruit with zero care. This explains the details. Now that I have a NAMA J2 making pineapple juice is a breeze including the skins on the organic ones. The details about when the stomata are open and how long it takes are very useful though have seen some bag grown excellent success in far less time. Foliar feeding is the way for these bromelaids.
Priceless information. Much respect to you for providing. Greetings from Trinidad. Presently working on pineapple project
I need this Pineapple in my Life!!! ----When you know the BEST---Price dont matter! Thank you John---I'm looking forward to ordering up a few of these pineapples!
Glad someone appreciates this. Also this is a SMALL family farm. People do not appreciate "the real cost of food" with all the inexpensive imported foods.
@@growingyourgreens I love pineapple and that's a large farm, but I agree people don't understand the manpower and resources it takes to grow your own anything! I love watching your videos, because it makes people, including myself, appreciate their food more!
Order it! Don't delay. I just got my first set today! Off the chain!
Yep!
This is down the road from me, they sell the pineapples at a temporary fruit stand out by the road. Memorial Day to Labor Day usually. The owner Bruce showed me how to grow my own from the tops. I have a bunch of them and usually get one every year.
Great stuff John! You do an excellent job. I appreciate your work.
OMG John this is your best video ever! Great information as usual. I was so excited, I ordered my pineapples even before getting to the end of the video to see the special deal you worked out with the farmer. Keep up the great work
Best video I've seen from you so far!
I've followed John for years and love it! I just wish he spoke a little slower though. Check out how he picks up even more speed at the end of this video! Imagine how hard it is for folks who are not well versed in English! Lol.
I can’t wait to try these! The ones that bother so many people are great to me. I really enjoy them. Fortunately I always have super sweet bright yellow inside ones. I can eat a whole one and then some as a mono meal. I’m sure the sugar loaf is out of this world! Thank you John
just ordered 3 plants, wish me luck in Oregon greenhouse.
I’d love to try this but $60 for 1 pineapple and shipping is rough.
TheDonDaDa! Depending on where you live and how you feel about pineapples, the price may or may not be a factor. I received 3 in a box today, and trust me! These pineapple are Sweeter Than Sweet. I call them "Illegally Sweet." If you love pineapples like I do, then the price is worth it.
@@donspencer2110 Better habit to have to than drugs, I suppose.
I've had some great pineapples on Borneo from my in laws garden. Super sweet. Can't wait for my next trip to the tropics.
Great video, so very comprehensive...all we need to know. Thank you so much!
$30 each plus $30 shipping?!?!? Holy crap!!!!
Worth it. I just got my first set. Can't wait to order some more.
Amazing ,!!! Never heard or heard this information before.You know what your talking about. I grow up in pineapple country Guyana where the pineapples are sun ripped and juicy dripping when u bite into it. You sold me .Will look into buying some if not too expensive.Well done excellent demonstration.
Bored. Just ate a pineapple. Watching videos on pineapples. Makes sense
I have a white pineapple that is finally fruiting 2 years after rooting the crown! My son in law first gave me a fruit from his hometown of Hilo. Absolutely the best pineapple I ever had. And we grew up around pineapples. Was wondering when would be the best time to pick it. Thank you for your video!.
When you can smell it from a distance
I bought three and got one free half rotten mini Kauai Sugarloaf Pineapple. I can’t wait to trying out; so upon arrival, I cut one up. My husband tried first and he said it’s tarter than Costco yellow pineapple. I thought he was joking. I watched other three RUclips videos bragged about how sweet the Sugarloaf before I decided to buy not one but three. I still have two in the refrigerator as I am writing this. By the way, each pineapple weighs with the crown 3.6 to 3.7 pounds. The two Sugarloaf I ate so far were NOT sweet and burn my mouth too. After in the fridge two days, it didn’t burn my mouth anymore. The core is soft.
Those look amazing! I wish they could ship to vancouver canada! Thank you for doing such a responsible way in growing them! Thank you for all of the information!
Inspired!! You the best teacher.
Great video thoroughly informative, good work.
Life is too short ! to listen with a long explanations. Simple as pineapple with node grows. Thanks 🍍
Wow! This video is great. Thank you.
very good info, a lot of knowledge here, i was on the island, found them on a road stand, phenomenal , I have order two of these, they keep me informed , one fantastic video, thanks for the education, Garry
Right when he started making the pineapple sorbet, I was halfway through cutting my pineapple I bought for $1.68 from Wallmart lol. Near the part where John's talking to the pineapple expert, I finished eating some pineapple. It was the first time I bought pineapple from Walmart. Like this lady said, it was sweet, but it laked flavor.
Order these, they are the BEST!!!
Thanks for teaching us how to grow a pineapple we’re going to start hours today thanks again
John Kohler is a living legend.
i am amazed it takes that long to grow a pineapple. good video
Totally learned a lot. I hope to order soon. Thanks so much
Hey .. everyone Moniee-Mon, is watching thanks for the info vedios keep doing what'cha do best God bless ya!.
I ordered three my family loves it. Making pineapple smoothies.
Thank you for the information I really appreciate it.❤
Such a magical plant.
I grew up on
Kauai my grandfather worked for the lawai pineapple cannery .
A curiosity: In Nicaragua they call the yellow pineapples Hawaiian and the white ones Nicaraguan and the white seems to be the Sugarloaf variety as the core is edible. Hawaiian pineapples are more expensive and seem to be the preferred there.
grandma's got bigger guns then John haha.
What do you use for a cover crop?
Gracias not only for visiting Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 but for helping me star to farm . I come from a line or Shaman but recently got hit with life issues and health. I bought a juicer from you and send a letter thank you for your videos. I have one small 8x4?veg garden and order 8 more for the Back and once I can find the triangle cloth for share I’m ordering 6 more 8x4
How do I start? Do I cut meat and all that junk cold turkey??? Help!!!!!
What is the variety with the highest Nutrition, and the lowest sugar content. . . ?
Great video, I am in Maui eating a fresh one.
Time to go back for harvest 😁
Love Sugar Loaf and love Kaua'i!
What a really interesting episode
Hey 👋 I have a question I stopped buying cantaloupe at the grocery stores when I got a couple of fruit that tasted like diesel fuel, have you heard of this issue and is it because of force ripening with that gas you mentioned, also I grew my own Cantaloupe because of this, super juicy tasted like candy. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, sounds delicious... Sorry you can't ship outside the US.
Nice infomercial
I have 3 to 4 feet tall sugar loaf pineapple plant about 6 months. It's been so growing in my penthouse, since the pineapple plant receive east south , south and west window sunlight. According to your video, It's best to fertilize pineapple plant at night like 10pm. It's the best to water pineapple's leaves at night, too?
I eat today white pineapple really very sweet and juicy ❤
John, I’ve learned so much from watching your videos.I’ve eaten so many pineapples in my life and never given a second thought about how it was grown and the hard work put into growing pineapples.I have much appreciation for this beautiful fruit now.Your tips about how to check for the ripeness - the eyes, eye balls and the puffy Kim Kardesian lips ? That was hilarious 😂🤣😅.Love your videos, great job 👍🙏🏽
have you found a tropical place yet where you want to buy and grow , and live ? herd you mention it in other vids
Love the video and the in depth information. It makes me feel like I am there and I love Hawaii!! Do you know what the model of the Champion machine, is it the G5-NG-853S?
Hi John, you keep saying "cover crop". What nitrogen fixing plants are they using? I'm curious to know.
Very informative. You're doing a fantastic job. How are you doing since Covid 19?
I have been growing pineapples for 2 yeRs💕 I'm in generation 7!
i dont know how sweet your pineapple are but in my country a normal cheap golden pineapple (a kind of pineapple that we have) is so sweet that is like eat candy and only cutting the pineapple you can have a good amount of juice
Does the stored pineapple lose sugar or taste through the crown after harvest?
thank you so much!
Great video John. Can't help but ask. When you were talking about the pineapple juice hike sitting on volcano rock in beginning of video. Was that pickup I'm back ground crashed into that container? Front end looks smashed and looks like air bag is deployed. Lol
Wow, I love pineapple, however the other day I had my pineapple & every bite was a explosion of acid reflux, i never have heart burn. Now i understand why, not every pineapple is the same. Great info!
Thank you John , I love to order some
Are you ever going to answer what can grow best in NV USA?
Good question. I live on the east side by Nellis AFB on the hill, and there is much "desert landscaping" around here, very few grow much of anything. It is frustrating.
already have many videos on this topic see
ruclips.net/user/growingyourgreenssearch?query=vegas
You’re kidding, right? The guy LIVES in Las Vegas, where he films the bulk of his videos. He doesn’t hide this fact at all. In fact, he’s CONSTANTLY talking about living in Vegas and what has worked/doesn’t work for him and MOST of his videos are about what works in NV. 😒
Dude you are my pineapple brother
Used when the pineapple plant starts to flower.
Hi just saw your video on the pineapple very interesting I wanted to know if you can send to Cyprus please let me know as soon as possible I want to order some thanks.
You mentioned Lihue on some island. FYI, not that it matters, Lihue is on Kauai and where the airport is on Kauai.
No wonder my pineapple isn't as large as what I purchase.
Can you harvest and grow pineapple indoors
Yep. I fruit mine in 3-5 gallon pots depending on the size of the plant. I have 10 different varieties.
Way too expensive! $30 for a pineapple Plus $30 to ship.. um no!
I've been buying them for 6 years. I normally order 3 every year. It's the same shipping cost ship 3. You also get 3 tops to plant and start your own.I have almost 100 of them growing now. Sometimes they're sold out. I'd say John needs them just as much as they need John. But they are delicious!
I went to Hawaii about 8 years ago and will say that pineapple there is SO different from pineapple in the mainland. I guess they pick them unripened and ripen them with chemicals as they get shipped. It's sooooo good there. I jumped on the site because I was considering getting some. However, I don't know if the pineapple is $30/each good. lol I can get "crappy" pineapple for $5, it's good enough. $10 each, yeah, I might have paid that.
@@tropicalco2339 Totally agreed with you. How can I ever catch up to you?
@@donspencer2110 Just keep plugging along and before you know it 5 years has passed and you have more plants than you have places to put them 😄
Sadly, they do seem quite pricey. However, having been raised in HI and lived there most my life, I have first-hand experience of just how much more expensive the cost of living is in comparison to just about every other place in the US. It’s not South America where the land and labor is DIRT CHEAP. Shipping to/from HI is also astronomical as everything perishable has to fly. All this PLUS the extreme care that is taken to ensure the highest quality end product required for the maximum customer satisfaction expected of such a gourmet, high-ticket food item! For all the labor and costs involved, they probably don’t make tons of profit.
I LOVED that John talked about using the tops to grow your own pineapple plant-genius way to extend the value and maximize the use of such a high ticket food item!
John what size pot you recommend me putting those tops when I get my pineapples I just ordered thank you
The bigger the pot the better. I use 7 to 10 gallon pots for optimal growth.
What's the chances of finding someone with the exact same name who also follows John? Crazy!
