- Bill discuss a few of the issues related to growing the Hilo White Pineapple. If you need slips for this pineapple contact me at greengardenservice@yahoo.com
Nice to see a video on these after we just bought some from you. These white pineapples were soooo tasty! Definitely contact Bill to get some!Thanks again for showing us your amazing natural farm - it was a real treat. I’ll be reading that book about the Japanese farmer that you said inspired you 👍
Thanks for the fine comment. Come on back any time, pineapple season or not. Bill
Was that book One Straw Revolution? If so, it's definitely a good read.
@@derrickpitter8340 That's the one. Read it back in the 70's.
Thank you very much for the information. Great video!
You're welcome.
im getting my first plant in kansas tomorrow very excited!
Have a good time. Pineapples are the perfect tropical fruit for a temperate garden. They fruit in 12 to 24 month, grow in pots and you don't need to try and keep a big tree alive. Aloha
Living in Kona, waiting for my 1st crop. Thanks so much for info when to pick.
It takes about 24 month from start to fruit. At 1600 feet on the Hilo side the season is July to October. The low elevation people pick first, we pick last up here. Color, smell, how easy the stem snaps and past practice dictate picking season.
My son in law who is from Hilo brought this white pineapple from his father's yard. It was the best pineapple we have ever had! Since then, my father in law has planted slips and has a patch in front of his yard. I planted a slip and finally got my first pineapple this summer! Delicious! Will be planting the slips so I can get my own fruit.. Thank you for posting this video!
You're welcome. I find the Hilo White slowly changes as it adapts to different areas. Collections I have made from different areas are all slightly different.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 I have another fruit on my plant and wondering again when the right time to pick it. The first fruit I picked too early. I will wait for the blush in the yellow part. 🤞 that it will be ripe this time!
@@corlissyamasaki3476 What color the fruit turns when ripe with this pineapples seems to vary a lot depending on growing conditions. People raising it down in Hilo are able to let the fruit turn yellow and still have good quality. Here in Mountain View the fruit is mostly green with a yellow blush when ripe. Smell matters if your nose is good. They smell when ripe. The fruit snaps from the stem easily when ripe. Sadly it took us years of picking hundreds of these before we got it down for this location. If the last one was too early allow the next to color a bit more. It should not be hard green except at the shoulder.
Aloha Bill, we are on island now getting our rental ready. We have been getting a ton of stuff done, working like dogs, found 2 white pineapples, two avocado trees...loaded,, about 5 Mac nut trees popping off, and some citrus. Hope to see you before we leave.
Come on by. I am around all day today.
Fantastic!
Glad you enjoyed it.
I have 8 small white jades here in central Florida. I can't wait until they produce fruit.
It takes about 2 years from slips to fruit under the right conditions. Temperatures below 50 mess things up. A hoop house might help with winter cold.
Drooooool.......mmmm....so jealous! Sure wish we could get those stateside!
The low acid makes them too perishable for shipments to the other 49 Mainland states.
You can grow white pineapples in pots stateside. I have 5 I am growing in Los Angeles currently
How have I not found your channel sooner? I just got a set of four White Jade Pineapples from a seller in Florida. Will be growing them indoors until fruiting since we're zone 5 where I live. Love the great growing tips and hearing your story with growing your pineapples in another video.
You aren't the first one to wonder where I've been. Not quite sure why but my channel has been slow to spread. Probably do better if I haired a young lady in a bikini to help hold the props. Aloha
@@GreenGardenGuy1 hey man, thanks for the reply. Yeah, bikini models might improve your viewership a little, hope you find one that fits lol.
Just got 4 white pineapple plants from a guy in Florida, only 4 inches tall and the leaves seem kind of soft compared to what I'm used to growing the yellow grocery store varieties, is this normal?
@@lazyh-online4839 Some pineapples are stiff with rough leaves and others are smooth. The white I grow here have smooth leaves that are fairly flexible. If you take a point in the eye you will still blind yourself though.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 awesome, thanks again for the reply and the info. You're awesome and my wife and I love watching your videos even without bikini models!
@@lazyh-online4839 Thank you.
Mmm, those look amazing! I really wish I were visiting Hawaii this October like I originally planned but I'm here in Sweden doing a farm internship so it'll have to wait until April or May. Gonna get my hands on those whites one day!
The season is August to September for white pineapples. We sometimes have a few left in October.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 good to know, fruit is still reddish green so I'm looking forward to it changing.
@@corlissyamasaki3476 It should show yellow. The other way to tell is season. Most of these fruit ripen in a 2 month window.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 thank you! I really appreciate your help !
@@corlissyamasaki3476 Sure thing.
Im trying my luck with a sugerloaf pineapple in a container in Phoenix AZ
The history shows that these where probably White Sugar Loaf before arriving in Hawaii. Now they are Kapoho White, Hilo White, Kona White, Kauai White, etc, etc. There appear to be sports and different races of the same fruit here.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 wow, didn't realize there were so many sports of the white pineapple!
@@corlissyamasaki3476 They are slips or suckers. Sports are somatic genetic mutations. We usually get 7 to 1 reproduction on these plants. We started with five and are now in the thousands.
Bill, I did that thing you told me not to do! and I am planning next years trip but want to hit the golden Dragon fruit season so we can go crazy on Yellow Dragon fruit. What month would recommend for lots of ripe Yellow Dragon fruit? Malama pono 🤙
The cycles are not locked in stone because they are weather dependent. The next fruit will likely be in October.
I just picked my white pineapple after days of obsessing whether it was ready or not. It was sweet and juicy!! Thank you, Bill for your advice. They seem to be ripening in July this year in my area. Thanks again!
July is the month if you live at lower elevation. I'm at 1600 feet and the last fruit of the year in this area due to elevation.
What is your routine with the plant after the pineapple is picked? Does the mother plant die? Do you just allow a few slips to take over? Is it worth removing the slips, removing the mother plant, and replanting a slip in its place?
Originally we used to remove the 5 slips below the fruit and the tops for replanting on the farm. We usually left the two basal suckers hooked to the root to refruit multiples. Once the original 5 pineapples turned into over 2000 we stopped. Now I just sell the slips and tops, fruit the basal suckers a few times then pull everything out and start all over again.
I just found your channel, and wow those look great. Looking for a white Sugarloaf, and it looks like you have the same kind with a different name. I recently had bought one from a local tropical fruit nursery here in South Florida. The plant grew good as fruit with plenty of slips that I have Pulled. My issue is the fruit Has stayed small for a couple months, making me think it may be an ornamental plant, in which case I will pull.This plant does have the reddish tint on the leaves, but the leaves are serrated edges. Which makes me think it is not a true white pineapple Sugarloaf. Wondering if you still sell slips? If so what prices do you have? Thanks and I will be going back through your channel to learn more.
I have 23 videos on Pineapples. Go to the youtube search box and type greengardenguy1/pineapple These will give you more info. White Sugar loaf does have a red tint but no serrations. We can figure they sold you the wrong pineapple. Let it mature to see what you have. Sugar loaf takes 24 months, be patient. I have a bit of sugar loaf on the farm but only for nursery stock. I grow the Hilo White as a crop. A long time ago the White Sugar Loaf entered the Islands at Kapoho. It spread all the way to Kauai. Pineapple under somatic mutations when planted in diverse environments. The Hilo White is no longer the Sugar Loaf, they are distinct. The Hilo is sweeter and juicier than Sugar loaf but they are very similar. I sell the slips but there is a minimum for shipping to the mainland. Use my email for more info. greengardenservice@yahoo.com
@@GreenGardenGuy1 ok thank you for the response, i am going to see what mine does, although fruit hasn’t grown much in last couple months.. will drop you a email on possibly getting the Hilo sounds great..
Thanks again
@@eroggero Feed it and ignore it for a while. It might surprise you! Aloha
i would love a slip but living in the mainland finger lakes region ny, don't think they would grow, love learning about growing and your videos are very informing,are root veggies growen in puna,or any where on the island. just want to go to your garden a pick a pineapple
Sweet potatoes, manioc and taro are common root crops grown here. Carrots, Daikon, Ginger and Turmeric are also common. Cultural tastes dictate what roots are grown here.
Do 🍍 need a lot of sun or half shade. How do you water them and how often. I live in Arizona
We grow pineapples in full sun here. Plants that get into the shade do not sweeten right and can fail to fruit. We do not water crops here. The average rain fall is over 120" a year and pretty even around the calendar. It is actually the main reason I set up shop here. We can usually raise crops here by nature rather than technology. I do not believe the fruit likes temperatures much over 90. If our fruit drops to the side in the upper 80's it usually cooks and sun burns on the side. We toss dry weeds over the fruit if this happens to prevent burning.
Do they take the cold like the yellow ones in florida? It gets down to 40° once or twice a year. 35° once a year. But we usually wrap the plants that need it. If the cold lasts a couple of days then we have problems.
They are tropical plants. The coldest temperature they have ever seen here was 50 degrees. 35 degrees would likely be the death of them. I used to raise them in an unheated greenhouse in California. The coldest temp in there was around 40 degrees. The pineapples survived it but did not have the taste or quality of the ones we grow in the Hawaiian sun.
these pineapples seems to grow good all over florida Smooth Cayenne. M-D2. Red Spanish. Natal Queen.... i got some white sugarloaf plants from bill and so far there doing great in the part of florida I'm from they haven't seen winter yet but we shell see what happens
@@EvilDeadGuy666 The main difference between the pineapples in HI and a few of the ones from Florida seems to be the maturity time. Our local white takes 18 to 24 months. A few of the Florida types only talk 12 to 14 months here. Aloha, glad to hear they are doing well.
I have been growing pineapple plants in Germany for 30 years, have a tropical hot house to overwinter pineapples and I have bananas and papaya in the hot house all year round.
My experience with pineapples is not so long. I plant the first one in 2007. I tried raising them in California but the fruit quality was never the same as the ones grown outdoors in Hawaii. Great fruit, easy, healthy and delicious. They almost make up for not being able to grow a decent apple crop in the tropics. Aloha
@@GreenGardenGuy1
In Germany I get 2 or 3 of my own fruits a year, the winter even with additional light slows growth very strongly.
@@AnanasDoktor We get over 1000 fruit each year. I have stopped counting. Our season lasts from August to October. A few off season fruit rise up on occasion. I have a Florida land race pineapple that takes only 12 months to fruit. That one is mostly in July.
@@GreenGardenGuy1
Yes, your climate is much better suited for the pineapple plants because they are outside all year round. With us, switching from inside to outside is always associated with the risk of sunburn on the pineapple plants, which must first be protected from the midday sun. They are outside with us from mid-May to the end of September.
@@AnanasDoktor I am very pragmatic about crops. I believe the best crop to grow is the one most perfectly adapted to local conditions. A pineapple grown in California wasn't even close to the quality of an apple. In Hawaii the reverse is true. I still have a few apple trees here but only out of old habits. Quality as opposed to rarity tends to guide my planting projects. Lately we have discovered Hawaiian grown vanilla is remarkable.
What soil mixture do you recommend for zone 9 FL (in pots)?
Something very well drained. Pro Mix HP works well but any high quality potting soil the has a high porosity is good. If the soil is wet and soggy in cold weather the roots will rot. Zone 9 will require some sort of minimal frost protection in winter. Don't over water in winter.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 Thank you!
Hey man would you be able to ship to puerto Rico ? If it’s Express I’m Down to get some slips. If they are rooted. Aloha.
I do not ship rooted slips but I can slip unrooted to PR.
And you sound like John Wayne 🍻
"Well there little missy". That's the only line I can recall.
Aloha braddah🤙 live out in Ocean View, in Puna area a good amount would love to link with you and get some extra pineapple slips. Thx
I am starting to harvest slips. Use my email for contact. greengardenservice@yahoo.com
Aloha!!! I am in Hilo, u got any slips this year?
Yes we do. Come on down.
Nice video...
Does anyone grow this kind of pineapple in Europe (I'm from Slovakia)?
I would love to grow them in my house.
I contacted Bill, but Hawaii is very far from Europe and the plants would not have to survive the journey to Europe.
International shipping has been a nightmare for me and I would like to avoid it. Bill
I woud love some slips
I have them. Are you local or is this for shipping? Use my email for full info. greengardenservice@yahoo.com
I would love some slips.
I sell slips from July to Oct. Right now I have some large tops if you are here on Island.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 I'll mark my calendar for July. Thank you. 😊
@@quick-permits9397 Thank you, I will have plenty
The pineapples from Puerto Rico have become a favorite bc they have a hint of vanilla. They are small in size but sweet as sugar. Amazing fruit.
These are also very sweet but large in size.
Hey Garden Guy, by chance do you still have any slips left? Thank you and love your videos!
Yes, I have slips. Where are you located?
@@GreenGardenGuy1 I am in peoria, Arizona. I had found one here for sale about a month ago, and it is doing really well, so I wanted to get more to have a small row and I happened upon your video.
@@mikedee4449 Mike sadly Arizona doesn't trust Hawaiian AG inspections. Unless the nurseries are certified to Arizona standards. I can legally ship to 46 states but I am prohibited from CA, AZ, TX & LA
@@GreenGardenGuy1 wow, I have a friend who sends me bromeliads through the mail all the time. I figured that it would be shippable as long as it was a plant and not in fruit
@@mikedee4449 I have no idea where your friend lives but from Hawaii it is illegal to ship any living plant to Arizona unless it was raised in a certified nursery to meet Arizona rules. If he has a nursery certified to ship into AZ then it's all good. If he does not I wouldn't be talking about it much, there are fines . Meeting AZ standards isn't worth it for me. I'm retired and 46 legal states are enough to keep me busy. Sorry about this but it is AZ. they do not trust Hawaiian inspectors.
You need to break into Del Monte over there and send me some pink pineapple slips, they're selling the fruit online for 50 bucks with no top.
I tell people what I do all the time but never tell them what they should do. I could give a damn about Del Monte and their pink pineapple. That sort of horticultural price gouging burns me up. I want nothing to do with it and they can push their priceless pink pineapple where the sun doesn't shine. The Hilo White is one of the finest pineapples on earth and I sell it for $3 per pound. That seems fair to cover our labor and expense.
I would like to buy some seedlings for replanting. Please get back to me ASAP
CA, AZ, TX & LA prohibit shipment. Local pickup is different pricing from shipping. Your location is important.
I am from India. In my backyard I am
growing pineapple cultivar Queen for
several years.
Queen sounds like a very strong variety. I have never grown it. Here the Hilo White commands the highest market price. The yellow types are worth much less. We are trapped with this type due to high quality and high price. I grow others but they are mostly a curiousity. They have limited value.
had no ideia they grew pineapples in hawaii,i grow some here in brazil,the whites are called perl pineapple
At a time in the past Hawaii was the main source of pineapples in the USA. Dole Corp used to own most of Lanai. Now we only raise the gourmet types here. Dole moved the common fruit to other countries for cheaper labor.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 i have heard of that company,i think they traded bananas to
@@thebraziliangardener8481 They used to be a US company but their business has become international.
Do you mail them to the mainland?
I can ship to 46 states. CA, AZ, TX & LA are prohibited.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 do you have an email adress interested in sum slips
@@erikraposo3316 It's in the description.
Would you say that pineapple sin Hawaii are disease resistant? I bet you don't have to apply a lot of pest acide to them.
The most common pineapple pest is the fire ant. I do not have them but i do get other types of ants drawn to the sugar. Chinese wax scale can get on them but they aren't a big problem. The worst pest problems here are bacterial infections that set into the flowers if it rains a lot during the bloom. The flower infection is the only one we have considered spraying for with Neem or copper.
Am not too far from you, looking for slips to plant if you have extras?? Thank You!!
Yes we still have slips.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 Would love to get some, how can I reach you>?
@@randyhorne425 email is best. greengardenservice@yahoo.com
Hello bill, how can I obtain some of your white pineapple slips?
That depends on your location. It is one thing to pick them up here, another if they are shipped. Only 46 legal states, CA, AZ, TX & LA are prohibited. The season for slips is usually July to September.
I live south of Tampa, Florida . Let me know
@@johnpetersen7167 Tampa is good, I can ship there. I can do nothing until the season arrives but use my email for more information. greengardenservice@yahoo.com
Can slips be shipped?
With an inspection I can ship to 46 states. I can't ship to CA, AZ, TX or LA even with a blessing from heaven.
I would love some slips for our farm!! Pineapple is our most eaten fruit! Please let me know if you still have any available!
Yes, I still have some.

@@katherinetyner4514 Sorry, I do not give slips, I sell them.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 sorry for the misunderstanding how much do you charge per slip?
@@katherinetyner4514 Okay, we are almost there. I need to know where you live. The price is one thing if you pick them up on the farm, it is another if I have to ship them.
I would like slips but I live in Southern California. Do you ship here?
I can ship slips to 46 states and Puerto Rico. I am prohibited from shipping to CA, AZ, TX & LA.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 darn! I wanted one too
@@George_theguy-29 Sorry about that. I used to be able to ship to CA with a simple AG inspection. Recently it appears CA doesn't trust Hawaiian inspectors. Any plants grown here for CA must be grown certified to CA rules which include nuking the stuff with chemicals prior to shipping. I want no part of this.
Do they have teeth on the leaves of this type or no
No teeth, it is a smooth pineapple.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 OK great I ordered some off line and they don't have teeth just making sure
@@adriangarciafishing7498 Lots of pineapples are smooth. They don't really use the old time rough forms as fresh fruit anymore.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 oh I see well i guess I'll see
@@adriangarciafishing7498 Pineapples are one of the easiest tropical fruits to grow. The quality depends a lot on your local weather conditions though. Good luck and thanks for watching.
Do you ship?
Yes but AG laws limit me to 46 states. I am prohibited from shipping live plants to CA, AZ, TX & LA
I need Some pineapple 🍍 slip
I have a few at this moment but the season is July to Oct. Are you on Island?
Do you still have slips?
If they need to be shipped then no. If you are picking up here I can rustle up something. Anything I have is too large for the mail.
@@GreenGardenGuy1 rats. Im in Florida.
@@Savingusnow Don't fret. It is a seasonal crop and goes round and round every year. Just have to catch the brass ring at the right time. Slips are available to ship between July and Oct.
How do I obtain the slips from you? What is your address?
