@Serenitree: well the plant takes two years if i recall correctly

Serenitree · F

@ZeroG: I was just looking at some info about that.

. Look for flowers. It can take several years, but eventually a red cone should appear from the center of the leaves, followed by blue flowers and eventually a fruit. It takes about six months for the fruit to fully develop. The pineapple will grow from the flower, above ground, in the center of the plant.

That's a long time. I don't think I have that kind of patience.
