is aloe a bromeliad
Pineapple (Ananas comosus), also a bromeliad, grows into a tall rosette with long, strappy leaves and spines. At first glance, you may think it is an aloe until someone reveals this famous fruit plant's name. The pineapple plant bears a club-like flower on a stem that ripens into the golden fruit. If no flower spike or or fruit is present, someone may not readily distinguish this bromeliad from a large aloe. Unlike aloe, pineapple plants die once the fruit develops.
