Description / Ananas 'White Jade' Pineapple
A member of the Southern Living® Plant Collection, Ananas 'White Jade' Pineapple is a tropical plant with a rosette of long, thick, spiky leaves and an edible pineapple at its core that's ready to eat in late summer. It makes a great addition to edible landscapes or backyard gardens in warm, humid regions.
A high demand variety you'll not likely find in any grocery store, 'White Jade' produces a pineapple with white flesh that has low acid and a very sweet flavor. Even the core is tender and 100% edible. And with spineless leaves, handling and harvesting are easy and painless.
An Ananas comosus variety, 'White Jade' Pineapple grows to about 3 feet tall and wide. The plant has an upright habit and a moderate growth rate. Of course, you'll want to mass plant them in the garden, so you'll have more than one delicious pineapple; but the plant is appropriate for a container, and it makes an interesting specimen in a mixed bed.
Grown Zone appropriately (Zones 8-11), 'White Jade' Pineapple is an easy-care plant that's both heat and drought tolerant. It grows best in a sunny to partly shady location with average to dry, well-drained soil, having an acidic pH. No pruning is needed, but a spring and fall feeding is beneficial.
