I live in the Los Angeles area, and I was wondering if anyone has come across the yellow Columbian dragon fruit in any markets, I'm of course talking about the fruit itself and not the plant. I'm just curious because I usually come across the red, and white fleshed varieties at fruit markets but I never seem to come across the yellow variety.

Even the reds only showed up in the last couple of years.

Not sure what's keeping the imports from Columbia. Embargo or some diseases or pests present there? I had the yellow df almost 9 years ago from Toronto Chinatown, imported from Columbia. Canada welcomes the tropical pests and then freezes them dead.
