Looks delicious Wendi, I am growing 2 pineapple tops here in my central Florida garden, I never knew you could cut the tops into 4 pieces, very cool, thanks Wendi 🌱🌱🍍
@@wendiland That is so awesome, I will do that next time I buy a pineapple, I just planted the tops out last month, so I have a long way to go, but that is ok the reward is so worth it🍍
That's really amazing that you can get four plants out of one pineapple top. I can't wait until I see the update on the four pineapples plants that rooted and started to grow new plant growth. ❤🌱
Wow Wendi, what an awesome tip on how to increase your plant yield by turning one into four. I too am here in central FL and grow my own delicious organic pineapples in my tropical garden. Mine are all the golden yellow delicious kind and I usually get between 3 to 7 fruits in about every 18 to 22 months. I love the way your mom peeled your pineapple and it's the same way that I do it.😊🍍🍍
Wow! From one Pineapple top, growing 4?!! That is so COOL, thank you for sharing Wendi, 👍and I just noticed I hadn't subbed before,...well ,as of today I'm subbed!😊
I think that yours was shipped a little green out of necessity. I let them ripen until the green is gone and a deeper yellow and the fragrance will be noticeable from a few feet away. Careful though, the sugar content is very high and there’s a fine line before the pineapple begins to ferment. Time it right and you will be impressed. After your plant is established, the “keikis”, side shoots will give fruits in about a year versus planting the tops. Soon you’ll have more plants than you’ll know what to do with!😅 I don’t know if I’m doing this correctly but when the center of the plant begins to blush red signaling the formation of the flower, the fruit, I give a small amount of magnesium (?) as a sweetener? Other than that, just using triple 8 complehumus. I’m just an amateur backyard guy so proceed with caution 😂
My favorite would be watermelon, toss up between Hime Kansen or Kaho. Both have smaller vines and small fruit and can be easily trained to a trellis. Fruit is easy to support with small hammocks and vines produce best fruit if pruned to prevent overbearing. Hime Kansen is a round, 2-4lb fruit, seeded red hybrid with small seeds, Kaho is a salmon fleshed open pollinated, 2-4 lb fruit, seeded, oblong with an interesting flavour. Both have extremely thin rinds and need to be handled carefully to prevent splitting, I have had them break open when picking if I hit one with the shear.
Ok this is Cool Beanz and very informative, But why is no one talking about that AMAZING cut the mom made it the pineapple?! That was really impressive. I need a tutorial on how to do that
@@wendiland I have 3, but I only have 1 planted rightnow. I’m growing 4 varieties of strawberry in zone 10, Florida. But in spring I will fill greenstalk planter with Festival strawberries. I hear festival is the best.
Love eating pineapples and I have grown pineapple before but I would most likely never again because the plant, although doesn’t require much soil or care, it does need space. The plant itself (in my experience) gets so wide in circumference and it’s leaves are very prickly. It mostly injures people who walks by it.
Luckily the Sugarloaf leaves do not have serrated edge! :) Sounds lovely that your plants got so big, but I can see how it may not be worth it to take up so much space for 1 fruit that takes couple of years.
You can cut the tips of the leaves/blades so they’re not stabbing anyone or anything or you can cut the bottom leaves halfway back without harming the plant.
Elow ma'am...ma'am meron po bah dayo na ashitaba??para lang po sa mama q na my cancer yan po kc pinpapahap ng doctor po sa kanya...taga san po kayo?hirap po kc hanapin qng san makakakuha
Black diamond watermelon. Mine from that company was really great yours might not be as ripe. I ordered 4. rooting my 4 in water they have plenty roots now and ready to plant.
Yeah I figured it wasn’t ripe enough as the top was much harder to remove than ones in the past. I need to look into that watermelon, just to be curious. No room here.
@@702cadi hahaha It will take a lot of patience. I should be transplanting more things than to do that. I barely made space for some plants I sowed in March!
What is the most delicious fruit you've ever eaten?
Peach 🍑
My favorite fruit in the world is Fuji apples with peanut butter. My second favorite is an organic seeded watermelon.
What’s yours windi
An Isreali melon. I found one in Texas. Now i grow them every year and always save my seeds!
@@702cadi there’s quite a few, but mangosteen would be on very top of the list. :)
What a delicious episode! Cheers to many more yummy adventures!

You can split the tops into more than 4 sections if there’s a larger crown. Give it a try next time! :). How far along are your pineapple plants? :D
@@wendiland That is so awesome, I will do that next time I buy a pineapple, I just planted the tops out last month, so I have a long way to go, but that is ok the reward is so worth it🍍
You are such a good taste tester and describe it all so well. I really enjoyed you video at exotica and can’t wait to go there!
I planted ten Hilo white pineapple suckers last November here in central fl. Just a waiting game now! Love sugarloaf pineapples 😋

Learned 2 great things. 5 from 1 and your mom's trimming technique.

The intro to your videos trip my dog out
Volume on that has turned down. I might experiment doing something different. Sorry puppy!
I wish to try white pineapple
I see your Greenstalk in the background. I love those things.
I can’t wait to get more growing in them. :) Do you have one, what do you grow in it?

@@Anythingforfreedom haha! I got 2 empty right now too! Got it when there’s a sale. Can’t wait to make room to put them to use!

@@wendiland it’s more of a hazard to pets and little kids really…. Well, and me. Lol. Good to know there are varieties that aren’t prickly.
You can cut the tips of the leaves/blades so they’re not stabbing anyone or anything or you can cut the bottom leaves halfway back without harming the plant.
@@karensterling5246 tried that. Not worth it for me. Thanks though!
Can you grow them in the UK 🇬🇧 I have a conservatory x
I don’t see why not if there’s sufficient light and if the conservatory gets warm enough for your other tropical plants. Good luck with it! :)

@@wendiland I would write to the sugarloaf company and they will replace it.
Are you growing any Katuk? Also do you do any guerilla gardening?
Yeah I have the regular and variegated one. I have been slowly planting on the parkway. Called it the “rescued garden”. :)
@@wendiland love it!
Cute in the sun hat 👒
Thank you Mark! Sadly, it might be time to retire it soon. Half of the hat is broke and undone so I turned it to the back. LOL!
@@wendiland haha I’m sure as you are crafty you will figure out how to fix it. Next video you can show how to fix a hat 🧢 too lol
@@702cadi hahaha It will take a lot of patience. I should be transplanting more things than to do that. I barely made space for some plants I sowed in March!
@@wendiland just kidding miss Windi. I like your personality
Can u give me one sapling?
Your knife skills scare me.
I’m not that strong, but I am pretty careful when I use sharp objects. Just doesn’t look like I do.
