P.  aGrowth phenomena of pineapple fruits.  c1938  aData on the growth of pineapple fruits have appeared from time to time in a few publications. No mathematical analysis of such data demonstrating the nature of the growth of these fruits has appeared. In the present paper, values for the volumes and for weights of whole fruits, for fruitlets and for such sections of the fruits as flesh, shell and core are presented. The object of the paper is to show the nature of the growth of pineapple fruits and the time required for the core, shell and flesh of such fruits to complete growth and reach maturity.  aHawaii  aAbacaxi  aCrescimento  aFisiologia  aMaturação  aFruit veights  aMaturation  aPeso do fruto  aSmooth cayenne1 aKRAUSS, B.
