Grow your own from pups or seeds.

Get them from people re-landscaping their gardens.

If you are after A. tequilana, you'll need extremely good luck to find any.

are you any closer to Jalisco than you were when you joined ?

you probably already know it takes 21 kilos of pina to make 3l. of tequila.

Keep an eye on what's happening on the forum and you might get some clues as to what to do.

I actually considered this but 10 years to maturity. I'm not that patient.

no, not closer. I had found that link and I think every other article on Agave before I posted this, looks like I was not missing anything then. Thanks.

A cooked pina is probably OK. Check first, plus declare it at the border.
