The Condor dragon fruit is a popular, large variety known for its vibrant magenta/purple flesh, sweet flavor with berry/grape notes, and light green/pink exterior that turns reddish as it ripens. A Hylocereus guatemalensis hybrid, it's a robust grower that is self-pollinating but produces larger fruits with cross-pollination, often scoring high on the brix sweetness scale.
Characteristics
- Flesh: Bright magenta or purple with excellent sweetness (brix 19-20).
- Flavor: Rich, sweet, with heavy grape and berry notes, sometimes described as slightly tart.
- Exterior: Light green skin with pink hues that deepen as it ripens.
- Size: Large, typically 1 to 1.5 pounds.
- Growth: Aggressive, three-sided growth with small thorns; heavy pruning is recommended.
- Pollination: Self-pollinating but yields much larger fruit with cross-pollination from other varieties.
Growing & Harvesting
- Growth: Quick and robust in ideal conditions; benefits from some shade.
- Pruning: Essential due to aggressive growth.
- Ripeness: Harvest when the skin color deepens; avoid watering for a couple of days before harvest for best flavor.
