Where it comes from

From pine + -ery.

noun pineries

A hothouse or (tropical) area used as a plantation for the cultivation of pineapple plants (genus Ananas) and production of their homonymous fruit. The record weight for pinery-grown pineapples was an astonishing fourteen pounds, twelve ounces—a weight that no imported pineapple could achieve. Pineapples fit neatly into the national crazes for natural things in England,[…]
A pinewood, pinetum, forest or grove where pine trees are grown. Early in the Moon of Popping Trees they [High Back Bone, Yellow Eagle, and Crazy Horse] began tantalizing the woodcutters in the pinery and the soldiers guarding the wagons which brought wood to Fort Phil Kearny. [Red Cloud's War, 1866]
