Farming Pineapples Time ?

[Washac]

I read all over the place that pineapples take 14 hours to grow, the lot I have on the go at the moment

have so been been growing 24 hours and still not quite developed fruit ?

 

I am using super compost and paying the gardeners to look after the patches.

 

Think I maybe be better off  growing willow trees.

Very roughly speaking, if you're logging in or out before a growth cycle (2 hours-ish?) completes, you reset your pineapple tree's growth and have to wait more.

Got it, thanks.

Also don't forget that disease can lengthen the plants growth times.

 

How disease works is:

At the end of a growth cycle the plant grows or becomes diseased.

A diseased plant does not grow and has to repeat that cycle (getting another chance to grow if cured or dying if not)

 

A plant you pay to protect can still get diseased it is just instantly cured, but yeah again every time it gets diseased and insta-cured can add hours to the growth time.
