The Pink Flesh Dragon Fruit offers the best of both worlds: the familiar appearance of the classic red-skinned fruit with a sweeter, more visually striking pale pink interior. It‘s a delightful and productive variety that combines beauty, flavor, and ease of care for the Bay Area gardener.

• Produces attractive oval fruit with pink skin and green scales, similar to the red-fleshed variety.

• Flesh is a sweet, soft pink to white color, offering a higher sugar content and more delicate flavor than the common white-fleshed type.

• Exceptionally juicy with a smooth, fine texture and tiny, edible black seeds.

• A self-pollinating, fast-growing evergreen cactus vine that requires a sturdy support structure like a trellis or pergola.

• Features the same spectacular night-blooming, fragrant white flowers as other dragon fruit varieties.

• Well-adapted to warm, sunny locations in Zone 9a and requires minimal water once established.

Flavor Profile:

• Flavor: Sweet and pleasant, milder than the intense magenta variety but sweeter than the common white.

• Texture: Very juicy and soft, with a melt-in-your-mouth quality when perfectly ripe.

• Best Uses: Excellent for fresh eating, adding a sweet, colorful touch to fruit platters, smoothies, and desserts.
