Pineapple from seed..

Why don't the pineapples in Hawaii have seeds? Have we just not seen them or is it a specific variety that is only grown around here?

Seeds are formed by pollination and in Hawaii the plants are not pollinated. They are propagated by suckers or pups from the base of the mother plant, similar to bananas. Hummingbirds are the chief pollinators of the pineapple and are banned from the state. The pineapple we buy in the mainland stores comes from other countries and the state of Florida, and are open pollinated so they have seeds.

the island is free of these birds and it is illegal to bring them in to Hawaii..
