Growing Pineapples

Fern Byrd, a third grade teacher at Pleasant Hill School in Grantsville, West Virginia

Several years ago my class planted the top from a fresh pineapple that we had eaten. After seven years, that plant grew a pineapple! Those students came back to my class and ate their pineapple. Then, my class at that time, planted the top to that pineapple. Now it's five years later and we have a new pineapple growing! So pineapples do grow in West Virginia!
