Do pineapples grow on trees?

In: Tropical Fruits [Edit categories]

Answer:

No. They don't grow on trees. They are herbaceous perrennials and grow in the middle of a plant that is more like a spiky bush. Although you may think it would grow on a tree (because it is a tropical fruit) in actuality a pineapple is a ground dwelling fruit, like a tomato.
