________________________________________________________________________________________

Latin name - Ananas comosus

Pineapple plants are one of the most ubiquitous tropical fruit plants. Surprisingly, these bromeliads are in the same family as tree-dwelling epiphytes like Spanish moss.

The fruits are familiar, highly-palatable, and fun to grow. Pineapple plants prefer well-draining, sandy/loamy soil as their primary nemesis is root-rot. Container-growing your pineapples is absolutely acceptable and they take quite well to fruiting in a pot.

Pineapple plants, although fairly low-growers, create a wide footprint with their broad leaves. Feel free to cut leaves back out of your walking paths. Commercial growers practice this method regularly with no effect on fruit production.

After about 70-80 leaves have been produced (variety-dependent), a pineapple will begin to produce it’s flowering stem. Pineapples are seedless unless grown closely with other varieties or hand-pollinated for seed production. In the wild, pineapples are primarily pollinated by hummingbirds, but zero pollination is required to yield delicious fruits.

Pineapple fruits are high in water content (86%) and provide a rich source of manganese and Vitamin C. You’re likely well-aware that pineapples are widely used in drinks, confections, fruit salads, and straight up.

A little pineapple history…

Pineapples have been cultivated for centuries in their indigenous region of Central and South America, but were not introduced in Europe until the 17th century. It’s moniker is owed to the tendency of European explorers to name any novel round fruits “apples.” 

Explorer John Smith was one of the first to utter the term “pineapple” to describe this fruit in 1624. By the late 1700’s and early 1800’s, wealthy Europeans installed greenhouses or imported pineapples for display purposes, cycling them through use as centerpieces until they began to rot.

In the 1800’s, commercial production of select cultivars like ‘Smooth Cayenne’ began. The ‘Smooth Cayenne’ cultivar achieved worldwide diaspora as it was favored for commercial growth throughout Europe, Hawaii, Australia, and Africa.

How long until my pineapple fruits?

The time from planting to harvest depends on the part of the plant you are using to propagate the pineapple. Use the guide below to set your expectations regarding harvest timeline:

-Pineapple Crowns (the top of the fruit) can produce a new crop within 12-18 months.

-Pineapple Pups/Suckers (off-shoots from the side of the plant itself) can produce a new crop within 18-24 months.

-Pineapple Slips (baby plants taken from the bottom of a pineapple fruit) can produce a new crop after about 24+ months.

When to pick pineapples…

Pineapples typically mature in the warmest months. In South Florida, harvest season rolls from June through September. You can tell your fruit is ready to pick when color change begins and the fruit begins to emit scent. Some gardeners are able to leave their pineapples on the plant until full yellow coloration; Gardeners with rodent pests should pick their fruits as soon as yellow blush appears to avoid loss of your precious fruits.

Once in a while, you may experience the glory of an off-season pineapple at Thanksgiving or Christmas-time.

Solid Value 14 AWG Cable, but Jacket Design Could Be Improved
Size: 200-Foot, Style: 14-Gauge
This Amazon Basics 14-gauge speaker wire gets the job done at a very competitive price—under $0.15 per foot for the 200-foot spool. I’m using it for my surround sound speakers, and electrically, it performs just fine for that purpose. Whether it’s truly 99.9% oxygen-free copper (OFC) is hard to verify, but for my needs, it works well. One major downside is the non-round cable jacket design. There are no internal fillers to keep the wire shape consistent, which makes stripping the outer jacket more difficult than it needs to be. Because of the uneven shape, it’s easy to accidentally nick or cut the insulation on the conductors inside while trying to strip it. Including fillers or a more robust outer jacket would make this product significantly better. On the plus side, the cable has printed numbering along one conductor, which makes it easier to measure and cut lengths accurately—definitely a helpful touch for multi-speaker setups. In short, this is a cost-effective solution for basic speaker wiring, but the cable construction could be improved to make handling and prep easier. Still, for the price, it’s hard to complain too much.

Exceeded my expectations in every way.
Size: 200-Foot, Style: 14-Gauge, Size: 200-Foot, Style: 14-Gauge
Great quality solid copper cables. None of the local stores, such as Walmart or Autozone had Any real copper cables at all. All offerings were CCA dual-conductor cables that are essentially 95% aluminum. 2/3rd of available options had Packaging that didn't openly disclose this fact. It took time researching each "high-performance", or "professional grade" audio cables they had in stock. Perhaps, there's no regulations that require manufacturers to to make any reference clarifying that the product isn't pure copper. It was surprisingly misleading. Amazon Basic branded cables are as good as the best cables you cables you can buy elsewhere online. 14 Gauge us about as thick as you could reasonably use at home without it becoming a major annoying mess. Great price as well. Made in Vietnam - is just the icing on the cake. Ordered the "used" option. Cables were brand new, the coil was slightly banged up in shipping and dusty, thus the 15% discount
