I just picked my first pineapple! It was very sweet!

Skeet, nice looking fruit. Looks like you waited to pick the pineapple until all of the green was gone, and the fruit became golden. That is when the sugar is highest. I bet it was very sweet. Probably, far sweeter then the green picked pineapples that are sold in the store. - Millet

Skeet, that is a good looking pineapple.

Thanks --it took longer to ripen than I would have thought. Size has not changed much for a couple months, but when it started to turn, it only took a little over a week. It does taste really good--sweet with lots of flavor.

I have separated one pup and put it in a container of it's own, but there are 3 more I left with the mother plant. I think I can get a couple more fruit from it.

Of course the top on this one is much larger than the ones you get on pineapples in the store and would make a good start, but the pups are already over a foot high.

that's great skeet, i myself am in the process of starting a crown from a storebought pineapple. hope my results are as good as yours!

Good job. I hope to see something similar from my plant one day. What is the size of the fruit in the picture?

JK-- The fruit was pretty close to the size you get in the store, maybe a little smaller, but at least 90% of normal.

Impressive.
