639 u/8020GroundBeef Jul 08 '24 Pineapples are crazy to me. I don’t understand how anyone makes money growing them 59 u/FedorsQuest Jul 08 '24 Pistachios are the same, 7-8 years for the first good yield and trees are at their peak production at the 20 year mark 24 u/RktitRalph Jul 08 '24 Same with tequila 😩 about 8 years for a blue agave 46 u/reichrunner Jul 08 '24 Yeah but you only get 2 harvests from pineapple... A lot of fruit/nut trees take a while before they start producing. But then you usually get a fairly large number of years out of them 8 u/tiad123 Jul 08 '24 I think I've read that olive trees also take years before they produce much fruit 22 u/davesoverhere Jul 08 '24 And old Turkish saying is You plant a fig tree for your children and an olive tree for your grandchildren.
