Type: Tropical
Sun / water: Full sun / water as needed
When I plant it: Any time of year. Bring it indoors or cover it during cold weather.
What I’ve seen
Generally hardy but cannot withstand prolonged cold. Takes about 7–9 months to produce a pineapple.
How I use it
Very sweet. Used in smoothies, salads, as a snack, and of course in the island tradition of the piña colada.
