[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9727309, member: 2844"]The word pineapple used to refer to pine cones, and "pineapples"/pine cones stand for fertility, abundance, and prosperity. Traditionally, pine cones on a fence are a wish that the property inside the fence is prosperous. In Dutch the word "pijnappel" still means pine cone, although we have another word for them as well. The pineapple fruit is called "ananas" in Dutch, so we don't have the pineapple-pine cone confusion.:)[/QUOTE]
