Mrs. Alice Pouncey of Decatur has grown her own pineapple. Having planted a pineapple in a pot, she was surprised how quick it rooted and grew. And much more to her surprise, she was really amazed when a pineapple began to grow. The pineapple has been the conversation piece in the Pouncey household as everyone has marveled at the pineapple growing.
