Unlike other strains with a dichotomous lineage, the Pineapple strain actually only comes from one parent. A select phenotype of the popular Ed Rosenthal’s Super Bud or ERSB, the Pineapple strain was inbred over and over to produce a stable set of qualities that could be reproduced as its own independent strain. And so the Pineapple herb was born. Presently, Pineapple stands to be even more popular than its single parent, earning the positive response of a wide user base.

The flavorful delight brings together genetics from the African, South East Asian, Central American, and the Caribbean landraces.
In essence, the Pineapple strain itself is descended from the untouched herbs of the wild. Pineapple is a select phenotype of the ERSB variety, and thus comes from the same parent combination. The only thing that sets it apart is the fact that it was carefully chosen from the many different ERSB phenotypes and then reproduced to stabilize the kind of effects if provides.
The rounded clusters of the Pineapple herb make it look a lot like, well, a Pineapple.
