Connie Gee Dragon Fruit

Description:

Connie Gee Dragon Fruit

Hybrid: Hylocereus undatus × H. stenopterus × Hylocereus guatemalensis

New – August 2024

Connie Gee is a carefully bred hybrid developed by renowned breeder Don Burnett, showcasing the precision and intention behind modern dragon fruit breeding. This seedling was created by crossing Connie Mayer with G1, combining desirable traits from both parent plants.

The name Connie Gee reflects this lineage — “Connie” honouring Connie Mayer and “Gee” referencing G1 — making it easy to trace its heritage while acknowledging the genetics behind its unique performance.
