Dragonfruit keep getting better
« on: October 04, 2020, 09:02:59 PM »



I recently tried several dragonfruit that are heavy producing self fertile types with very rich taste profiles and they are sweet. Better than Physical graffiti, condor and American beauty? I have tried them and new ones seem better in many respects. 1kg fruit are not uncommon with these ones. Three are 2 or three others with purple skin or flesh that seem very good and I like the fruit from Jim West's yellow Ecuadorian also. Looks like back yard breeders are doing some good crosses.

1kg seems routine these days.



Markets are charging big bux for premium types.



Bland doesn't seem to cut it any more.

This H.occamponis hybrid a friend did turned out to have great tasting fruit.

These Ecuadorian yellows get to around 400g and taste good.
