Picked a pineapple and learned something.

🔥

The other day I picked a pineapple and was so excited as the ones I grow usually taste so sweet and juicy. About 2 years ago a neighbour gave me some tops from a red ornamental variety, The fruit was small but the leaves were a lovely deep red colour. Anyway when I cut my pineapple it was full of seeds and not so tasty so I did some research and found that pineapples will cross pollinate if you have different varieties so I will pick off the small red fruits in future.
