CFA Red Dragon Fruit

 

CFA Red – Red-Fleshed Dragon Fruit

CFA Red is a commercial red-fleshed dragon fruit variety valued for its fast growth, self-fertility, and reliable fruit size. It produces red skin with deep red flesh, paired with large white night-blooming flowers. Average fruit size is around 650 g, making it well suited to both backyard growers and commercial plantings.

This variety is self-fertile, meaning it can set fruit without cross-pollination. CFA Red is a vigorous, fast-growing plant, though it is very prone to rust, particularly in humid or cool seasonal conditions. Good airflow, spacing, and monitoring are recommended for best performance in South East Queensland.
