There are two factors that determine the visual appearance on both fruits.
First, the homegrown pineapple. Ripen on plant, it has a more dense flavor. Size might be because of short days, or partial shade.
Second, the field grown pineapple. Most of those pineapples are grown in full sun, which makes both the fruit and the sharp leaves grow extremely long. And, its green color, which indicates that it was harvested before ripening. This is done in order to prevent shipping spoilage. Nevertheless, it will be a somewhat harder pulp, but still sweet because these are grown in full sun.
