my own 'dwarf pineapple'
Took the flower pot indoors and immediately
captured a few images using my tiny digital camera
Nanas Hana69 - MAHA 2008
: Pineapple Industry Board Malaysia
Not sure whether it is edible but have seen in being sold in the supermarket, Chinese fruit stalls and often used in flower arrangements, especially during the Chinese New Year celebration. Maybe it can be used as an exotic drink stirers as it has long nice stalk. I planted this dwarf pineapple from a cutting given by my sister in Melaka who was clearing her plot of front yard garden almost a year ago. Initially, I have given up hope that it could fruit.
Browsing the internet to get some information on this plant :
Family : Bromeliaceae
Species : Anana Nanus
Known to originates from Brazil as ornamental plant with longish green-grey leaves with spines. The ripe fruit look like a small pineapple.
