4 Live Florida Special Pineapple Plants – 1–5 Inches – Ananas comosus

Florida Special Pineapple is a selected pineapple cultivar described by the seller as more cold tolerant than typical pineapple plants. The listing includes 4 live rooted plants, each approximately 1–5 inches tall, supplied in individual 2-inch pots. Pineapple is Ananas comosus, a perennial member of the Bromeliaceae family. USDA and UF/IFAS sources identify pineapple as noninvasive and suitable for warm-climate cultivation.

The seller describes Florida Special as producing sweet golden fruit and having spineless stocks. The plants are intended for home gardens, patio containers, and pineapple production in warm climates. The seller recommends USDA Zones 9–11, while UF/IFAS lists pineapple for Zones 10A–11B.

The seller's attribute field incorrectly identifies the genus as Sarracenia. The product description clearly identifies the plants as pineapple, so the botanical name used here is Ananas comosus, the accepted scientific name for pineapple.

Plant Condition Disclosure:
Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.
Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.

Live plants may experience normal shipping stress such as leaf loss, yellowing, wilting, or minor branch damage.

Please consider local weather before purchasing. Extreme heat, freezing temperatures, severe weather, shipping delays, or unattended packages may increase plant stress.
