So simple, yet so fun & they even produce pineapples! Do this with your kids. No knives, mess or skill needed. Great for adults too. And the best part is ……(insert drum roll here)…..you can eat the pineapple after planting the top. NOTHING gets wasted!

A high tunnel is an enclosed space that extends the growing season for your plantings and is tall enough to stand in. Dave shows you how to build a high tunnel either from scratch, or using an existing low tunnel as the starting point.

Just watching your vid for the first time. I love plants and growing them. I am doing that. 1 30 am I AM going to the pine apple.
You video quality is good and you have good info. I will sub for sure.
It’s been 8day and the white nubs have grew into half inch long roots all around the base. Thanks Praxx.
Pineapple haters, suck! Great Video.
@Praxxus55712 Alright thank you for the information
@TruthFromTheHeart It has less chance of a successful transplanting if put into sunlight or bright light due to the light encouraging the leaves to grow. It can not support leaf growth with no roots. It will draw energy from older leaves, thus killing itself in the process.
@Praxxus55712 Thanks for the info, will it die if it stays in the sun?
@TruthFromTheHeart Any bright light. Keep it in a shaded area for the first week or two after planting. Then move it into a bright location.
@Praxxus55712 Bright light as in a lamp, or bright light as in the sunlight?, and also I live in a California and it gets about 56 degrees here at night, could I still leave it outside then?
@TruthFromTheHeart Even the tiny brow nubs will grow into roots much of the time. Just keep it out of bright light in the beginning to allow it to take root without stress. Good luck with it!
My pineapple was about as fresh as yours but the roots were not as far out as yours, there were still those tiny brown things there but will it grow?
Awesome, found your pineapple video. Excellent!

Thanks!
do you use any lightening for your plants?
@12quillemall5321 The plant will bear fruit three times that is useful. The first is the kind put in the store like the one in the video above. The second one is used for canning and the third is used for juice. This is because the pineapples will be smaller each time and not as sweet. You can add sugar for the canned and juiced pineapple.
@12quillemall5321 The main plant only puts out one but mine is sending out a side shoot from the plant. I’m betting it’ll produce fruit. Don’t tell your mom I told you this. I don’t want her hitting me with a pineapple plant.
My mom say pineapple plants bears fruit once. Afterwards the plant will never grow another fruit and should be trashed. Is that true. I have several plants around my home, and I’m wondering should I keep them
what do you think the best weather for this is
It was harder to twist ours, it was more fresh and less lose maybe because I live in Maui which is where they grow them
i’m totally going to do this. million thanks
i thought you just cut it and you dont have to pluck out the leaves. actually mine had a bit of fruit around it…
hahaha i love the part with if you dont like pineapple you’re a bad person. so right

Great vid keep up the good work.Cheers
This well done video inspires gardeners to garden year round despite the climate you may live in.
See his “Low Tunne” video for more results of growing in the winter.
Also, feautes a product called a “stick and peel tarp zipper” ( I think that’s what it’s call) some gardeners may not be familiar with.
Thanks for sharing.
