When creating its fruit, it usually produces up to 200 flowers, although some large-fruited  can exceed this. Once it flowers, the individual fruits of the flowers join together to create a . After the first fruit is produced, side shoots (called 'suckers' by commercial growers) are produced in the leaf axils of the main stem. These suckers may be removed for propagation, or left to produce additional fruits on the original plant. Commercially, suckers that appear around the base are cultivated. It has 30 or more narrow, fleshy, trough-shaped leaves that are 30 to 100 cm (1 to 3+1⁄2 ft) long, surrounding a thick ; the leaves have sharp spines along the margins. In the first year of growth, the axis lengthens and thickens, bearing numerous leaves in close spirals. After 12 to 20 months, the stem grows into a spike-like  up to 15 cm (6 in) long with over 100 spirally arranged, trimerous flowers, each subtended by a bract.
