You probably meant this dragon fruit right Simon?  Any members from Hawaii can ship us this cutting?

Actually, I was originally looking for this one. http://tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=8090.msg171365#msg171365 . I got the fruit in Hong Kong and the fruit was about 1 lbs and was so sweet, it tasted like agave nectar. The regular Yellow Dragon can get fruit about the size of the ones in the video above. After some researching, I've discovered that there are at least two giant Yellow Megalanthus with slightly different Phenotype.

One of the phenotypes looks like the normal small sized fruit but just larger. It can also have less fins like the fruit from Hong Kong.

The other Phenotype is less elongated and much wider and rounder in the center of the fruit.

I currently have seedlings growing from two different varieties of giant Yellow Megalanthus. The fruit from both sources should give fruit at least double the size of the smaller Megalanthus or 1+ pound. The seedlings are small and it will be several years before I will have fruit to taste.

I am late to this post and am hoping that it is still being followed.   I am also interested in the yellow DF that Simon referred to.  It's been two years since the last post, is there any updates as to obtaining the cuttings for the yellow DF?  I am very interested in knowing how and where to obtain one.  Thank you.
