I do envy your tropical-fruit-growing climate, Worth!  I wonder if I could keep one alive and get it to fruit in a greenhouse that we keep just above freezing in the winter.

You most certainly can or even put it in the house where you live.
They like warm weather and are native to South America.
I found a WEB Site that told all about the cultivation of these critters.
There is a white Pineapple I have eaten that is super sweet.
This is the one I am looking for.
I have also read that the method I am using to propagate is one of the most common methods commercial growers use.
There are some other interesting things about the cultivation I will post later.
Wait I just had a brain storm, I met a guy at work that grows the white pineapple in Hawaii on his pineapple farm.
Thank you all for your comments.
