Yellow Dragon Fruit variety.
« on: September 18, 2018, 01:11:59 PM »
I'm growing a yellow Dragon Fruit call "Yellow Dragon", which I think is the common one where the fruit has thorn. I come across this and wondering if anyone know the variety of the dragon fruit. You can see it from 1:59 of the video:

The  guy bought it from Craiglist in CA, but doesn't know the name of the variety.

Hawaiian Golden. Basically they are yellow H. Undatus they taste the same as the standard white flesh some people find it bland and others like it. FamilyJ and Spaugh have cuttings of that type and it’s variations which are almost all the same. There is also the Israel Yellow but I find that one to have more accents of green on its fin so I don’t think it’s that plus it’s restricted but some people have it.

Thanks! A quick google search and there are a few places that sell its seeds, which is more than what I like to deal with as cutting is easier. I guess I will wait and see if my current "Yellow Dragon" will do well and how it taste, and if I don't like it, then I will be on the hunt to try the Hawaiian Golden.

In the mean time... you should find a cutting of the yellow Hylocereus megalanthus variety (the one WITH thorns on the fruit) to grow for comparison.

Hmm..... I thought the "yellow Hylocereus megalanthus" is the "Yellow Dragon" that's being sold around the area in Florida? If it's not it, what is "Yellow Dragon" then?

The one in the video is the undantus like was already mentioned.  There are also yellow skinned megalanthus types.  "Yellow dragon" is a useless name to go off of.  It could be either type.

A photo of the cutting would help clarify what you have.

Thanks Brad, I will take a picture of the Yellow Dragon and upload later.  Pine Island nursery call it Yellow Dragon, and the vein is skinny, look like this:

Got it, so I assume this standard megalanthus (yellow Hylocereus megalanthus) or "Yellow Dragon" should taste better than the Hawaiian Gold? I'm not into Lemonade so I think I'm not going to look for that ISIS Gold.

The megalanthus is very sweet.  They dont have much in the flavor department compared to a red or purple fruit though.

Thanks for confirming that. The sweet characteristic is what I'm going after. I already have Purple Haze and Natural Mystic to cover the complex flavor part. I just need a sweet one to enjoy on a hot day (like water melon). As strange as it sounds, I had store bought yellow Hylocereus megalanthus, and I welcome the laxative effect after consume it as it cleans my stomach like detox  ;D

The standard Megalanthus is known as Selenicereus Megalanthus just FYI

Looks like Megalanthus to me.  Does not look like yellow Undatus.

Thanks! Undatus is not as sweet as Megalanthus. So what I'm growing is what I'm wanted after all. Hopefully I will get some fruit next year to confirm. The yellow one is very slow growing!!!! (compare to my Purple Haze and Natural Mystic).
