The leaves can be completely green or have red, yellow, or ivory stripes running through the centre or near the borders.
The stalk elongates and enlarges at the apex during blooming, producing a head of tiny purple or crimson flowers, each with a solitary red, yellowish, or green bract.
Individual fruits create a cone-shaped, complex, luscious, meaty fruit to 12 in (30 cm) or more in height as they develop from the blooms, with the stem acting as the fibrous but very succulent core.
When the fruit is mature, the stiff, waxy peel, which is made up of hexagonal units, can be dark-green, yellow, orange-yellow, or reddish.
The flesh is virtually white to yellow in color.
Small, hard seeds may be present if the flowers are pollinated, although in most cases, just remnants of developing seeds are found.
Slips arise from the stem around the base of the fruit, and shoots emerge from the axils of the leaves.
Suckers (also known as aerial suckers) are branches that emerge from the plant’s root at ground level.[/ts_side_content][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner offset=”vc_col-md-6″][ts_side_image display_notebox=”show” notebox=”
