Description

The pineapple is a traditional American symbol of hospitality. During colonial times, sea captains arriving home brought back the tropical fruit from exotic locations. As a sign of their safe return and to welcome guests, they placed a pineapple on their gate or door. In time, people began carving pineapple designs into their doorways and gateposts. Pineapples are still given today as a symbol of welcome or friendship
