This is the Dole Pineapple Boat unloading at the harbor in San Diego. I believe the boat brings up Pineapple from Central America and unloads the containers for shipment all across the U.S.A. I caught this shot through my hotel window one morning on a recent stay in San Diego.

Pineapple crop was pretty scarce this year since its been so dry, but I managed to harvest this one before the wildlife molested it.
My pineapples usually end up about 1/3 to 1/2 the size of pineapples you would buy from the store because I grow them in containers but they are incredibly sweet, almost like candy.

I captured this one while walking down Church St. in Charleston, SC.
Happy Fence Friday and a very nice weekend to everyone!

Some surprising facts..
Ethephon, is often sprayed onto the fruit one week before harvest, which turns the fruit golden yellow after a week, same idea as bananas.
A pineapple never becomes any riper than when it was harvested.
"The pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a tropical plant with an edible fruit, also called a pineapple,and the most economically significant plant in the family Bromeliaceae.[4] The pineapple is indigenous to South America, where it has been cultivated for many centuries. The introduction of the pineapple cultivation to Europe in the 17th century made it a significant cultural icon of luxury. Since the 1820s, pineapple has been commercially grown in greenhouses and many tropical plantations. Further, it is the third most important tropical fruit in world production. In the 20th century, Hawaii was a dominant producer of pineapples, especially for the US; however, by 2016, Costa Rica, Brazil, and the Philippines accounted for nearly one-third of the world's production of pineapples."
