Pineapple pit information


Close up of a pineapple inside the pineapple pit at the Lost Gardens of Heligan, Cornwall, UK

A pineapple pit is a method of growing pineapples in colder climates. One of the earliest examples in Britain has been found by archaeologists at Heligan in Cornwall.[1] The first pineapples known to have been grown in Europe were cultivated in the Netherlands.[2] None were grown in England until about 1715.[3]
