It was totally green when I went on vacation. I watered it heavily beforehand knowing I would be away a couple weeks. Got back and boom, ready to eat! Not sure if it was because the soil got a bit dry. Smells very good.

Historywise, the bud started to emerge in June 2025. The plant was about 1.5 or so years old.

Pineapples do not ripen after being picked. They may go softer, but that is because they are beginning to rot. You need to make sure they are ripe when picked. Source, and also a family member who has been growing them.
