I grew a beautiful pineapple in a pot in FL. Gorgeous healthy looking plant and when I cut it open it was all brown in the middle

Question

and had to throw it out. What causes this? My friend down the street grows pineapples the same way as me and his are sweet and delightful. What would cause this problem?

Answer 1
