Picked up a roughleaf type pineapple at the local servo, any guesses at the variety it might be?

All the rough leafed pineapples are just queen I think.Jubilee and Mareeba gold are a bit more glamorous.

Thanks, have yet to see a sweet/gold with a top around here, but someone will slip up sometime. They were all very small pines with small compact tops so wondering is they were supposed to be some sort of mini or just b grades dumped at a b grade fruit shop.

Keep looking, you will find a slip up, I've found a few, I never walk past a fruit shop without going through the topless pineapples looking for small "pups" that could have survived the knife. Sometimes the knife cut is just shallow enough for the pup to survive. I have grown several to fruition here and even in my climate, they are outstanding.
