Bay Area–Based Nursery

We specialize in plants grown and delivered in their original pots and soil.
Because of their size and weight, our plants are not suitable for long-distance shipping and are delivered locally to ensure health and quality.

While delivery is limited to our local service area, we’re happy to support garden design and plant selection remotely.

For local plant professionals, we’re always glad to connect and explore ways to support your customers.

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.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

Q: How is this different from the Red Flesh variety?A: The Pink Flesh variety has a lighter, softer pink (almost pink-white) interior compared to the vivid magenta of the Red Flesh. It is generally very sweet but may have a slightly different, sometimes milder flavor profile.
Q: Is it as productive as other varieties?A: Yes, it is known as a reliable and heavy bearer when provided with ample sunlight and proper support.
Q: Do I need to hand-pollinate it?A: As a self-fertile variety, it does not require hand-pollination to set fruit. However, like all dragon fruit, hand-pollination can improve fruit size and yield, especially in areas with low nocturnal pollinator activity.
