How The Pineapple Is A Sign Of Hospitality.


I have always loved eating a fresh pineapple. On a trip out to Southland Nursery and Landscaping, here in Myrtle Beach, we were pleasantly surprised to see they had several pineapples growing. Walking around downtown it's common to see statues of pineapples carved out of stone sitting on front porches or on posts at the front of the driveway. This got me thinking about what a friend of mine told me years ago. The story of the pineapple down south...


The pineapple is viewed as a symbolic gesture of welcome. A southern custom, when the hostess would place a pineapple out on the table for her guests, this would send the message to her visitors that she was welcoming them into her home. The pineapple became a social status icon. Now you can find the pineapple interlaced throughout an older home's architectural design.

  1. Awesome job Julie. You represent an interesting and remarkable topic in this post for your readers and fans. Definitely pineapple is sweet fruits that can provide huge juice and taste. There are many countries where pineapple does not grow. But here in Myrtle beach it's really very common with excellent popularity. Trailing to the end of your post details, it seems indeed pineapple is the sign of hospitality here. This can be a fascinating landscaping source too. Anyway, for an stunning landscaping Folsom Landscaping will perhaps be one of the best place to be partnered for enhancing home beauty particularly for the Folsom dwellers.
