Question

Hi I have 2 suckers from the mother Pineapple plant that produced a pineapple–yet small.  However BOTH sucker plants have no sucker or slips or pups.  1- what should I do the the plant now? 2- will they “do” anything like produce a sucker or slip or another pineapple? 3- is this  plant one for the trash?
