Estimated Duration: 730 days

Pineapples are slow-growing plants that require warm temperatures and well-drained soil. After planting the crown or sucker, it takes about 18-24 months for the plant to mature and produce fruit. The exact time depends on climate, soil quality, and care. Pineapples grow best in tropical or subtropical regions with consistent warmth. Regular watering, fertilization, and pest control can optimize growth. Once the plant flowers, it takes another 5-7 months for the fruit to fully develop and ripen. Patience is key when growing pineapples, as they don't fruit quickly like annual plants.
