Believe it or not, but this debate has been raging between my friends and for three days straight now and we can't seem to get to the bottom of it. Random topic of conversation, I know but then again we do tend to talk about the most obscure things....So can someone please settle this debate for us - Do pineapples grow in the ground or on trees?

if it falls on your head you will have the answer

I'm sure I've just answered this one.

I recently saw one on TV growing in a pot. It was about 12 inches tall - that's the plant - and surrounded by its leaves.
