What is This Plant?
Does anyone recognize this "fruit"? I saw it at the local zoo but the only sign nearby claimed it was an American Pineapple. The tree looked like it was from the palm family. I am pretty good at identifying flora but this one has me stumped.

I don't know the name of it, but it is a local plant that grows in Australia along the eastern Coastline.
