Pineapples are native to the tropics but also grow in subtropical areas. They can be grown in a variety of soils provided they possess the characteristics of good drainage, aeration and a low P.H. (4.5-5.5). The pineapple has a remarkable ability to grow under a wide range of rainfall conditions.
The Spanish introduced it into the Philippines and may have taken it to Hawaii and Guam early in the 16th Century.

Prolonged cold above freezing retards growth, delays maturity and causes the fruit to be more acid.
