they do NOT grow on a tree. They are members of ther bromeliad family, which includes epiphtytes (tree-dwelling) and terrestrial (ground-dwelling) species.

Pineapple Annas comosus is a ground-dwelling bromeliad that is grown commercially in Hawaii and other tropical locations. It is native to South America.

Good question!

Do pineapples have seeds and if so, are they edible?

Yes, pineapples do have seeds, but they are typically small and not usually eaten. Most pineapples are grown from the tops of other pineapples rather than from seeds.

What is the role of pineapple ovaries in the reproductive process of pineapples?

The pineapple ovaries play a crucial role in the reproductive process of pineapples by producing ovules that contain the female reproductive cells. These ovules are fertilized by pollen from the male reproductive organs, leading to the development of seeds within the fruit. The ovaries also help in the formation of the fleshy part of the pineapple fruit that surrounds the seeds.


Do crowded seed grow faster than uncrowded seeds?

Crowded seeds grow faster because they have more competition for water and nutrients so they have to hurry to grow into a plant. Uncrowded seeds grow slower becasue they have no competition so they can take as long as they want, the water will still be there.


If you place seeds in microwave do they grow faster or slower?

Microwaves will essentially cook the inside (embryo and cotyledons) of the seed - killing it. The germination would be effected by the duration that the seeds were in the microwave. Microwaves do not make seed grow faster or slower, they effect the germination and vigor of the seeds - negatively.
