Product Details
Store: Shulman Dragon Fruit Orchard • Moorpark, CA, US
Dragon fruit native to Zacatecas, Mexico, refers to wild or specialized varieties of the Hylocereus genus (such as Hylocereus ocamponis) known for their intense sweetness and unique tropical profiles. Recent harvests from this region have drawn attention for producing “superstar” fruit with exceptionally high sugar content.
Fruit Profile
- Flavor: Complex layers of grape and longan with a lush tropical finish – distinct from the milder, common white-fleshed varieties found in grocery stores.
- Appearance: Grayish-green stems and extra-large, fragrant, night-blooming flowers up to 15 inches across, depending on the specific species.
Plant Characteristics
- Pollination: Many native Mexican varieties, including Hylocereus ocamponis, are not self-pollinating and require hand-pollination or a different variety for cross-pollination.
- Growth: Strong but can be slow-growing; thrives climbing a trellis, totem, or tree. Hardy in USDA Zones 10-11, or as a patio plant in cooler climates.
- Stems: Thick, three-sided, often with a “sunscreen” coating that helps them handle heat.
