Pineapple growing

[SpokeyDokey]

Pineapples:

World production is over 15000 million tonnes.

The number 1 producer is Brazil.

They are a fast growing tropical fruit.

Cold weather slows them down.

They can be grown in valleys or up the side of a hill.

They can be induced to ripen more quickly with the aid of chemicals.

They break open into segments very easily.

They are also the nudge nudge wink wink for the swinging community.

Tinned pineapple is grown specialy in rings, that match the tin size.

Colloquial for Australian $50 notes, due to their yellow colour. - or so says the urban dictionary

Hard to grow in this climate, any gardener who did would advertise how good he was by putting a carved stone pineapple on the gate posts
