I have an 'Ecuador Palora' that I grew from the small piece of vine that was attached to the fruit, making the resulting plant a clone of the plant the fruit was harvested from. I've seen people, in Facebook groups and on Youtube, use 'Ecuador Palora' to refer to plants grown from the seeds of a grocery store fruit.
When I see 'Ecuador Palora' on offer from individuals or shops, there is usually not an indication of whether the plants are clones or seedlings. Am I correct to assume that there is a meaningful difference? Do the seedlings produce the same fruit as the clones?
In a reply to the post "Yellow dragon fruit - Hylocereus triangularis or Hylocereus megalanthus?" a user offered up the info that 'Ecuador Palora' is an ecotype that was selected from the wild, but in that same reply it was stated that many such ecotypes are natural hybrids; how to infer whether or not a natural hybrid grows true to type is beyond my current understanding.
