Pineapples are usually propagated by new vegetative growth because it is difficult to germinate the seeds.

Answer 4

You probably will not be able to find seeds because the longevity of pineapple seeds is only about six months, they are very difficult to germinate and usually will not grow true.  Seeds are used mostly for breeding programs and commercial propagation of the plant is by cuttings.  And yes, it is fairly simple to grow a pineapple but be aware it can take as long as sixteen months from planting to ripe fruit, depending on the variety.
