This film could have been fashioned from two different films about pineapples. The title was not found in Bundesarchiv-Filmarchiv. The German title 'Ananaskulturen' (in combination with 'Gaumont') was verified through the Siegener Kino-Datenbanken. However, there was also a Pathé film called 'Die Ananas' (1911).

This film is a documentary: Les Ananas; La culture des ananas; dir: Louis Feuillade; Gaumont, France 1913 .
