  • have you grown a pineapple

  • @soccer123456789ist I've never grown a pineapple, but I'm game! It would certainly make for nice landscaping. I've seen pineapple fields in Hawaii before. Fresh is sooo awesome!

  • he said it's about 100 degree's F i gather.

    well last year we were getting 111.2 degrees F

    which is 44 deg Celcius.

    and really humid too THAT's hot hehehe.

  • @voytek I've heared they like a partial shade (as in the jungle they are not the tallest plants).

  • how did you banana plants go through the transition from being potted to being put in the ground, outdoors ? I've just started keeping banana tree, grew enormously indoor, I planted it outside and it's not doing well at all .... seems like the leaves are too delicate for the sun - I cut them all and hope for new growth - any hints ? What am I possible doing wrong ? Do they always behave like that first time after replanting from in-to-outdoor ? Thanks !

  • i love your spunk.

  • oh okay cool :) I'm in Australia Adelaide we do get a fair bit of rain here during winter and maybe spring but the rest of the time it's pretty sunny though I do have a shade clothed area the tree can be planted in?!!? what do you recommend full sun or not so much?

    cheers again love mel

  • WOW... I want some! I grew up in Goleta (Santa Barbara County) and we were surrounded by orange, lemon, and avacado groves back in the day. We had an avacado tree in our back yard that was a terriffic producer. I miss that tree! So Cal avacados are the best!

  • Oh heck... Climate is a big factor. You can get a HUGE banana tree and never get any fruit at all. I'm growing mine in a greenhouse and hopefully this will make the difference for me. Just remember to water well, fertilize, and change the soil when needed (if potted). A bannana planted in a small pot will remain small, so be sure to graduate up to a larger pot as it grows.

  • Growing an avacado tree for its fruit depends on your climate, care, and if it is potted or planted in the ground. It can take 2 or more years to get a mature tree. Potted trees stunt the growth. When your tree gets to about 5 feet tall it should start producing. Hope that helps! GAiL
