The pineapple tree and chickens

Does a pineapple tree produce pineapples? 
 No, despite its name.  The name comes because It smells like a pineapple and its tiny seedpods look like one.
 
Garden owner Mary McCaig discusses the origin of this strangely named tree with Willie Campbell district organiser of Scotland’s Open Gardens (Stirlingshire) in Stirling this afternoon .

 I liked the chickens ( see extra) kept in a chicken run in a corner of its walled garden, proving it’s possible to have your own supply of eggs even in an urban setting.
