Pineapple 'White Jade' (Ananas comosus)
The White Jade Pineapple is a unique tropical fruit plant native to Hawaii, known for its exceptional sweetness, juiciness, and spineless leaves. This gourmet pineapple offers a low-acid, delightfully sweet flavor, perfect for fresh eating, juicing, and culinary creations. Its smooth, spineless leaves make it easy to handle and harvest, ideal for families and gardeners.
White Jade Pineapple plants grow compactly, making them suitable for small gardens and container gardening. They thrive in full sun, well-draining sandy soil enriched with organic matter, and warm tropical climates. Protect from frost and extreme cold, and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil, enrich it with organic compost, and plant the crown just deep enough to cover the base of the leaves. Allow at least 12 inches between plants.
