>>1071783The leaves are huge razor-edged spears.They won't fill up much space until they're a year old, but after that they take up tons of space. Maybe in a pot they'd be smaller.
I have a few pineapples, but here are my best examples. The big one is about 2 years old and gets plenty of rain and little to no competition from weeds. Each leaf is almost 3 feet long.
The smaller one HAS a pineapple on it, but it's the budding baby off of the first pineapple I planted there. It's never been as big as the "mother" plant, but it gave me a pineapple in record time. It's also got shit tons of intentional and incidental soil
mates.It's only 3 feet across in its entirety.
You could cut the leaf tips off I guess, but it doesn't look good.
