Pineapple History and Cultivation Notes
The pineapple is a edible flower fruit formed from a cluster of many blooms. It can reproduce via top suckers and needs care over months to become a ripe specimen. About fifty varieties exist, with Holland first attempting cultivation and England expanding it in 1776. The United States struggles against West Indies imports. Pineapple essence is best made by hotly sealed juice rather than chemist extracts.
