You’re going to have to be filthy rich if you plan on buying a £10,000 pineapple that was grown in horse manure using Victorian gardening methods.

The ‘world’s most expensive’ fruit has also strangely been dumped in horse urine as well as 30 tonnes of straw and horse droppings.

The luxurious crop was matured at Cornwall’s Lost Gardens of Heligan and is one of eight pineapples, each costing £1,200 to grow, that are ready to eat.

But anyone who does plan bidding for the £10,000 pineapple will be disappointed as staff at the complex are planning on keeping the special fruit all to themselves.

‘It is just staff who get to taste the fruits as a thank you for their hard work,’ said spokesman for the gardens James Stephens.

He added the high cost produce had ‘explosive flavour’ and was ‘ deliciously sweet’.

‘In an ideal world we’d use about 90 tonnes of manure over the course of year which isn’t cheap to source and transport,’ he said.

‘We’ve struggled to get good manure this year so we’ve had to use electric heaters.

‘It can take up to two years to grow each pineapple so it’s only fair.
