I'm a bit envious that you can grow these in your yard. I just learned that the bromelain can reduce bruising, swelling, and even help reduce plaque in the blood vessels. The down side is that it can also negate certain medications.

Mark your videos are always a joy to watch. Will be moving from the Netherlands to Sweden so I have to room to be self sufficient! Your channel has been an inspiration!
I'm growing these weird mini pineapples lol I think mines almost ready. Glad you made this video mines yellow and I was thinking about cutting it off lol
I literally just found a random pineapple last week in my garden in Norther NSW. I was wondering when to pick it…thank you Mark, I’ll watch this after work tonight!!
It's like a berry, sort of. You don't want to pick a berry that doesn't remove either. Good info. Did you already do a more extensive video on pineapple, that I missed? I would love to learn even more about them.
I love letting my pineapples get borderline overripe before cutting, once the whole thing shifts from green to yellow and the leaves come off with little effort the pineapple to its core will be delicious and so sweet
i have about 20 pineapple plants in south florida. in my experience ya pick it when its about half yellow if you want the sweet and tart taste. full yellow can be too sweet. like a potato turns to starch, a pineapple turns to sugar.
@@cjgames001 about two thirds of the plants i grow bloom a pinapple every year in south florida. june or july they ripen. the other third don't seem to bloom every year, but i am not an expert on how to bloom pineapples.
pineapple is my favorite fruit. I can't imagine how good a home grown fresh pineapple would taste. very jealous sir. no way I could grow them in my climate, unfortunately.
The "Fruits" only RIPPEN while alive, & Start to ROOTEN, the second they are picked....this goes for everything. You Sir; truely have a "Master-piece" of delectable nature & are Rewarded by YOUR EFFORTS .
I cant wait for my pineapples to produce fruit.. i was given a large plant that had about 20 pups.. they have grown considerably.. i cant quite remember how long ago i got them.. Northern rivers
What variety is this one? The one I have will have some slips attached to the base of the fruit, so one pineapple harvested means at least 8 new plants.
I'm a little confused because pineapple absolutely ripens off the plant. I buy my pineapple green, and a week later it's orange and ripe from ripening off the plant..
They're known to soften, like they will eventually rot on the counter, but they won't ripen in the sense that starches won't convert to sugars. They won't get any sweeter after picking.
Thank you for this advice. Mine is two or three and still no pineapples. Store bought and brought inside for winter, I could be better about fertilizer but it's still gets some.
So i learned that when you pick the top leaves on the pineapple itself if they cone out easy they are ripe and ready to eat if they dont come out easy you just wait
Good morning from New Zealand. By chance has your Facebook self sufficient me account been hacked? There's a lot been posted which is not your stuff. Kindest regards Delwyn
I'm not far from Mark & I'm finding it difficult to find a pineapple with a top at the shops. A few months ago, I did find some at $6 each, but I was reluctant to pay that at the time. Now I regret not buying one, I haven't found ANY since! 🤦♀️
Which fruit last longer before it spoils? A ripe fruit or a fruit not yet ripe? By picking fruits that aren't ripe increases the chance said fruit won't spoil before its purchased.

I love that Russel Crowe has gotten so into gardening.
Came here to make the same comment, thanks 😂
Oh my goodness so I'm not the first one to notice that Russell Crowe looks like Mark
Pineapple is the best fruit ever, and workin in fruit receiving at Golden Circle was the best job ever. I miss you, Pineapples. 😢
And durian too!
In Indonesia there are a lot of pineapples and durian with several varieties 😊
This video was perfect timing. I’ve got a pineapple out the front and was just wondering this.
I'm a bit envious that you can grow these in your yard. I just learned that the bromelain can reduce bruising, swelling, and even help reduce plaque in the blood vessels. The down side is that it can also negate certain medications.
Pineapple and grapefruit can't be eaten with certain medications
Very handy advice, Mark. Thanks
I watched this with great interest. From Pennsylvania.
Me too, from Michigan. Now to figure out a efficient method for heating a greenhouse to pull this off! 😂

I was waiting on a dad joke just based on the cadence of your voice. Still good information.
In my personal super humble, probably the most humble ever, opinion one does not necessarily pick the proper pineapple. The pineapple picks you.

I love watching your content, Mark! 😊
been growing pineapples for 3 years, not even a hint of a pineapple yet... just beautiful plants😔😊
Should be anytime soon then. 🤞 Ours made the tiniest pineapple but it was still delicious!!
That’s epic. I bet they taste so much better than in the shop!
I bet those taste so good!🍍
Beautiful things
Amazing!
Watching this made me think about planting a pineapple in my house though idk how 😂
❤ from Indonesia!
Wow🎉
I would live to try growing these types of food in subtropical climates ❤
You can also smell the bottom of the pineapple. That's the best way to test them at the grocer.
Thank God for all the wonderful delicious food he made for us.
Pineapple! Here in the UK that's a dream!
I didn't know Russel Crowe was such a gardener
i have about 20 pineapple plants in south florida.

When I get a pineapple from the store it seems like it ripens on the counter after a couple days.
Really? They're not known for ripening after picking.
Holy moly those golden skinned pineapples must have been incredible. Very jealous!
What!! no pineapple dad joke...RU OK?
The "Fruits" only RIPPEN while alive, & Start to ROOTEN, the second they are picked....this goes for everything. You Sir; truely have a "Master-piece" of delectable nature & are Rewarded by YOUR EFFORTS .
That’s not how it works. The fruit is never alive. 😂
@@Carl_McMelvinl guess you "Majored " in skipping OUT of BIOLOGY CLASS. Growth, cell division, & reproduction IS "LIFE".
@@donaldstrishock3923 the irony is astounding. A fruit is not alive. Period. This isn’t a debate. It’s a fact. Is your ear alive? Legendary fail.
I cant wait for my pineapples to produce fruit.. i was given a large plant that had about 20 pups.. they have grown considerably.. i cant quite remember how long ago i got them.. Northern rivers
Got me my first pineapple on the porch myself
Can we get a how to grow pineapple video?
He has like 4 long form pineapple videos already
I love pineapple but they don't grow in the Netherlands. You're lucky and knowledgeable.
What variety is this one? The one I have will have some slips attached to the base of the fruit, so one pineapple harvested means at least 8 new plants.
hey mark how do you record in both directions at the same time like that pretty cool man
I never had pinappale fully matured right out of the mother plant.
Cannot even imagine the flavor.
That yellow pineapple looks like spongebobs house, not gonna lie.
I'm a little confused because pineapple absolutely ripens off the plant. I buy my pineapple green, and a week later it's orange and ripe from ripening off the plant..
They're known to soften, like they will eventually rot on the counter, but they won't ripen in the sense that starches won't convert to sugars. They won't get any sweeter after picking.
What do you do with the plant after picking the pineapple? Do more grow from it?
I have a pineapple plant that is at least 2 years old I haven't gotten a pineapple from it yet
Some plants take even 3 years keep it in direct sunlight and keep fertilizing regularly you will get one for sure 😊.
Thank you for this advice. Mine is two or three and still no pineapples. Store bought and brought inside for winter, I could be better about fertilizer but it's still gets some.
I put it under a grow light that most people use for weed lol and keep it in a grow tent 18/6 light dark. Am I doing it ok?
@@Dpowell28could it be that bc was from a store, they altered it so as not to reproduce?
How many years does it take to establish pineapples
So i learned that when you pick the top leaves on the pineapple itself if they cone out easy they are ripe and ready to eat if they dont come out easy you just wait
I love Aussie accent
Green tend to be more acidic
I grew pineapple for years, until one year I forgot to bring the plants and they froze.
do u fertilise it? I remember my mom had a pineapple plant in a pot and it took years to make one small pineapple haha
2-3 years to produce a pineapple is normal
Even once it flowers it’s still 6 months or more before ripe
Do you have enormous hands? Or is that a cute little pineapple?
I think both !!
This is never going to be a problem for me,living in the north west of England 😢

Will this plane have another pineapple?
Here in the UK... a pineapple is never yellow on the outside. They look more like the dark one.
Is there different species or is it a random thing?
They are just depressed. Try telling them a joke next time you see one😂
Pineapple leaves could save us one day. It is used to make Pinatex.
I wanna grow lots of pinapples so waiting several years is worth it. Got about a dozen so far. Hard to get tops in perth. :/
I'm not far from Mark & I'm finding it difficult to find a pineapple with a top at the shops.
A few months ago, I did find some at $6 each, but I was reluctant to pay that at the time. Now I regret not buying one, I haven't found ANY since! 🤦♀️
Is that white pineapple the one with pink flesh?
I thought that variety was patented.
The varmints always know when ithe pineapple is ripe. They are perfectly ripe when they start eating them. lol
Pick it before the squirrels get it 😂
I was in 2023 years old, when I discovered *pineapples don't grow on palm trees but in BUSHES* - Teach us nothing in School
Russel Grow on the house
Now, slice it up and put it on a pizza 🍕
Why do they pick them not ripe for the stores.
Which fruit last longer before it spoils? A ripe fruit or a fruit not yet ripe? By picking fruits that aren't ripe increases the chance said fruit won't spoil before its purchased.
@@Chris-Hill pineapples don't ripen any more after they are picked. That's the problem
@@brucejensen3081 you asked why lol box stores would rather sell that than throw away profits.
@@Chris-Hill I find a ripe one every so often, it's so exciting. Lol
@@brucejensen3081 already know seldom few and far between. Be nice to live in a area where they were locally grown to buy at a fruit market.
