Our Pineapple Bush Still Going Strong

Shortly after we bought this pineapple bush, over a year ago, it produced the sweetest, juiciest pineapple I have ever eaten.  It was about the size of a small melon, but was just right for the two of us.

Since that time our yard has suffered a severe set back from the extreme cold temperatures this past winter and we were afraid it may have killed our little bush.  But, as you can see it is growing strong even though the leaves are damaged and brown the little fruit is hearty. 

It grows very slowly but I am hopeful that in another month or so we will have a great treat.

Pineapple Anyone?

My husband and I bought this cute little pineapple plant last year and really enjoyed eating the fruit.

Once we picked the (one and only) pineapple it just sat dormant for the longest time. I wasn't sure if it was ever going to do anything. Then we had the freezes this year that destroyed so much of our gorgeous foliage around the entire state that I was sure this poor little guy had very little chance of making it. You can see where the leaves have been cut back removing all the dead parts from the frost.

Well, my husband was out there last week and noticed a little bud coming up from the center and sure enough, it looks like it's going to make it after all.
