Well, I guess not too many people live in a subtropical climate :-) This is the fruit of some kind of palm that grows here in Okinawa. I used to think that it turned into palm fronds, but maybe not, judging by its final stages. It starts out like this , and then turns into what is shown in the two pictures following that one (I can't seem to link all of them in one comment).

Good guess, but not a pineapple, although it is a part of a plant. Helen

pine-apple, maybe?

Well, you're on the right track, but rather than a pine tree it's something you'd find in a tropical/subtropical climate...

Well, since no one else will guess... it it a pinecone?

That's right, Ann, you do have an inside track here! I remember people had a terrible time guessing what this was before.

I remember this one Helen so I won't guess. :)
