The leaves are waxy, strap-shaped, and two to six feet in length.\u00a0They usually have a sharp point on the tip of the leaf and spines along the\u00a0<em>margins<\/em>\u00a0of the leaves. The leaves may be green or variegated in color. The pineapple fruit grows on a stalk in the center of the\u00a0<em>rosette<\/em>\u00a0of leaves. The pineapple is a multiple fruit. (i.e. Fruits formed when a cluster of flowers produces numerous fruit that mature into a single mass.) The pineapple is oval to cylindrical in shape, topped by a leafy crown. The skin is golden yellow at maturity and has numerous scales. The flesh is whitish-yellow, juicy and sweet, around a central fibrous core. Seeds are absent. Pineapples are grown in warmer areas of Florida and can be grown in containers and as ornamentals throughout Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu\/images\/plantid\/fruits\/pineapple_field.jpg\" alt=\"Pineapple field in Mexico\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>(cc) 2002 Jacob Rus.
