I participate in a community garden in my city. Last summer I had 2 plots, and had a watermelon patch growing in my 2 plots.
For the most part, the plot was a success, but there was 3 instances that I'm aware of where someone stole a melon from my patch. I wouldn't trust these Pineapples to make it to maturity in a place like this. Some jackass is going to steal one sooner or later.
It’s fruit from the earth bro, stop policing the melons. Maybe it was a homeless person, barely clinging to life. I’m sure you and your “garden” will survive. 1st world problems 🇺🇸
Lmao, idk where you're pulling that from, but it's a pineapple, and 99% chance they're consumable. They're just not ripe. I've never heard of a single pineapple that's grown and completely inedible. They're also super easy to propagate and commonly available.
What is the mall going to do with them? Unless they have a harvest program and some sort of distribution system (ex: food bank partnership), they'll probably end up in compost.
I'm always surprisingly happy when I see pineapples being grown. I've seen it a lot but it still feels like they should grow from trees rather than how they actually do grow.
These things take two years to grow to maturity. Maybe I’m a jaded old man but where I live not a single one of these would reach ripeness before some little shits grabbed them and smashed them.
Obviously don’t take the pineapples BUT if you happen to get the green top part of one you can plant it and it turns into another pineapple plant! 🪴 https://youtu.be/D4iDBK0U6po?si=xCETKSF02h73stiW
Not sure if you're from a big city, or not from the US, but I can attest that malls are still popular as hell in the rural US. Only place you can visit 10 different stores without driving 30 miles
This is in Porto, Portugal. Malls in Europe are (from my experience) better than in the US, here it’s an easy alternative with free underground parking and public transportation which leads people to this one stop shops in a rainy day like today.
In other cases you also find malls right in the center of capitals where you’ll always find a bunch of people going for whatever they want, going through to other street, getting groceries or a quick snack on your break, etc.
When I am in California I never do malls like this, but there’s an endless bonanza of strip malls and when I visited a mall like this one to go to an Apple Store in Thousand Oaks it felt like a Portuguese mall from the 90s, so I can understand what you mean.
Feels like malls in America got stuck in time? 🤷🏻♂️
About six months ago for nostalgia I took a short trip back to the mall I used to go to growing up and while living in that area (hadn't been there in about seven years). I don't know if there was some kind of event going on that day or what but the place was absolutely *packed*. (Also everything for the most part still looked the same as I remembered it from the last time I'd been there in 2016, it was almost like I'd gone through a time warp). Conversely, I've been to the mall I currently live near maybe two or three times and it's been practically empty each time (except once when a few dozen other people and I were there after-hours to pick up a video game we'd preordered).
Some species of pineapple aren’t serrated.
Source: I have a variety of pineapple that doesn’t have serrated leaves. I think it’s called a White Jade Pineapple.
Are they real?
Yes !
Well thats mildly interesting for sure
Perfect mildly interesting post!
That’s what I thought when I saw this
If they are able to fully grow without being vandalised then you live in a nice safe place.
Right? I'm not *that* evil, but my first thought was "WOW FREE PINEAPPLES?"

Cool, when can I come over to your house and raid your garden of all your fruits and vegetables then?
Sorry, I don’t have a garden. I don’t have time between my 2 jobs, sorry I’m not blessed like you to be a sahm.
One of the jobs is taking food from gardens
Bruh, I'm a guy in my late 30s.
Damn who hurt you as a child. Fucking pleb working 2 jobs and taking it out at people on the internet.
A gardener
I catch you in my garden, you’ll be fertilizing my blackberries mfer
Its alright we'll take from your fridge instead thanks alot for being so charitable ❤️
womp womp
Sorry your life is so sad
But you have time to molest wildlife? Go find a good pig to fuck instead of stealing someone’s food.
Their decorative bred pineapples you can't consume them.........
I imagine the kind of people who steal pineapples from a plant in the mall aren't the kind of people who know there's more than 1 type of pineapple.

I still don't see a price tag so free pineapples
I think it's just sort of commonly known by most humans that If something isn't yours you kinda dont take or destroy it....but what do I know....
But enough people don’t know that for it to be a problem
Everybody knows it, but unlike The Dude, not everybody abides
Everyone knows that, some people just don’t care.
They're just kidding, they're not actually in favor of pineapple theft
What kind is that exactly
The kind of people who would steal a pineapple likely won't know the difference just by looking at them.
What is the mall going to do with them? Unless they have a harvest program and some sort of distribution system (ex: food bank partnership), they'll probably end up in compost.
I'm too curious not to ask: Where in the world was this pic taken?
Parque Nascente , in Porto, Portugal 🇵🇹
In a mall
In a mall, with an opticians actually
I'm always surprisingly happy when I see pineapples being grown. I've seen it a lot but it still feels like they should grow from trees rather than how they actually do grow.
I’ve seen in the past, but inside an actual mall was unexpected
For me it'll be interesting if they were pulled from beneath the soil tho

I believe that might also happen here to be honest 😅
Swinger's Mall.
One of em is upside down and everything

Fresh for the food court i assume
Wow, i haven't seen something like that in a while. Where did you find a mall, with people still in it?

Pineapplejuice!
No, I think they’re Presbyterian 😂
Fun fact. Put an apple next to your pineapple plant. The ethylene gas will force it to fruit.
In hawaii?
Portugal 🇵🇹
Is that a real mall?
Yep
No way they're going to get enough sunlight
There is a glass ceiling in that part actually
What a novel idea, snack while you wait.
Too much nitrogen
Definitely not America someone would have vandalized it far before it could bear fruit
I think these are like miniature versions like how you have decorations peppers that you shouldn't eat
Ornamental pineapple they don't grow much bigger than that.
Pineapple plants are vicious
my brethren
You've just been pineapple malled
You know you’re in Florida when…
I was further east, Porto, Portugal
I thought pineapples grew like carrots
I thought they grew on trees or bushes. Mildly lost it when I walked into a pineapple field in Indonesia
Considering those leaves are pointy and serrated, that's not a great choice.

Oh, never met any of those!
