Pineapples are related to bromeliads. I saved my tops and set them outside in the garden last summer. I have seen them in other yards around town, but, the best growing ones I have seen were in containers in potting soil. I have been told to let them get a little dry between waterings and feed lightly-frequently with fish emulsion. I hope they will pickup speed, they have been slow to grow here. It takes 2-3 years to get fruit here.

Down in south FL they used to grow them as a field crop. More of FL is going under the pavement of urban sprawl and it is getting harder to find the FL grown fruit in the farmers markets.
