Forcing Bloom Ananas comosus var. Kona Sugarloaf
It generally takes 2 years for a plant to reach flowering size. See details. This photo was taken in mid summer 2008. I think it is one of the best varieties for fresh eating! The fruit is very sweet with low acidity and an edible core.
How Much Light? Pineapple Topics
An unobstructed southern exposure offers the most direct sun. If your pineapple receives less than 8 hours of sunlight a day, a supplemental light source is needed to obtain maximum growth. See details. Pineapple Update | Plant Description
