World's Smallest Pineapple?

Today we found this ripe little pineapple along the short wall which overlooks the pali (our cliff). Last year, one of our monks noticed that a planter along the wall had some space. Since he just happened to have a pineapple top in hand to place there, in it went. Something useful to remember, if you have a pineapple top (cut so that some of the fruit is left on it) you can plant it anywhere that it will get warmth and sun. Pretty soon (well... maybe in a few years) you'll have another fruit!

Chinnu holds up the little pineapple before it is opened

This was its planter for the duration of its growth

Maybe not the world\

s smallest, but any smaller and you probably couldn\'t eat it. '

Tillainathaswami cuts it into pieces for several monks and Chinnu to try

It turned out to be quite sweet and very edible

Aum
