Smooth Cayenne and Queen/Sugarloaf are among the most common species of hybrid pineapple suckers. Of these, Smooth Cayenne stands out as the most widely cultivated hybrid pineapple. These tropical fruits exhibit remarkable resilience, thriving in various weather conditions.
Hybrid pineapples, propagated through suckers, grow atop a central stalk surrounded by swordlike leaves. Compared to traditional varieties, hybrids offer advantages in weed control and adaptability to different climates.
The Smooth Cayenne cultivar, in particular, reigns supreme in consumption, accounting for over 70% of global pineapple production. Renowned for its exceptional flavor and year-round growth, it remains a staple in the market.
