Tropicals & Tender Perennials: should I give this pineapple a chance?, 1 by vossner

I think it was summer 2005. I got 2 pineapple tops which I cured and eventually planted inground. All was fine until wintertime when they got pretty ratty and died to the ground. Then they greened up and I had some pretty nice 1' x 1' pineapple plants. Story repeats in 2007. Now, here we are in 2008 and it looks like story will repeat, again.

But I'm tired of this game. Is it possible that they can ever produce fruit with the freezing then coming back to life cycle? I have some very nice roses waiting for this space. But you can see in the pic that it already has 2 nice green leaves coming up.

what do you think?
