The Queen Pineapple is a compact, hardy variety known for its small, ultra-sweet fruit with a golden-yellow color and low acidity. Unlike store-bought pineapples, homegrown Queen Pineapples are rich in flavor, highly aromatic, and incredibly juicy. This drought-tolerant tropical plant thrives in warm, sunny climates, making it ideal for New Zealand’s North Island, coastal regions, and frost-free areas. Its spiky, ornamental foliage also makes it a beautiful garden feature. Care & Maintenance:
Plant in full sun with well-draining, sandy soil.
Water moderately, ensuring the soil dries slightly between watering.
Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to promote healthy fruiting.
Queen Pineapple takes 18–24 months to fruit, and its sweet, golden pineapples will be well worth the wait.
In cooler regions, grow in large pots or greenhouses for frost protection.
Enjoy homegrown, delicious pineapples with this easy-to-grow, high-yield variety!
