Maria Rosa Dragon Fruit (A)

New 2022 this was given to me by a NSW hobbie grower and this matches Lees version of Maria Rosa Dragon fruit but not spicy exotics. 

 

Description:

This striking variety features white flesh with red skin and green fins, producing attractive, high-quality fruit. Fruit size typically ranges from 450–500g.

It is a fast and reliable performer, taking roughly 30 days from bud to flower opening and another 30 days from flower to ripe fruit. This plant thrives in full sun and generally shows minimal sun damage, making it a strong choice for growers in warmer climates.

Although it requires cross-pollination, it sets well when paired with strong pollen-producing varieties.
It also makes an excellent rootstock for grafting both dragon fruit and other cactus species due to its vigour and resilience.

Taste:

With a Brix of 20, this variety offers a sweet, refreshing pineapple-like flavour. Absolutely AMAZING when chilled, making it perfect for summer eating, fruit platters, and smoothies.

Care: 

Plant into an excellent quality potting mix to a depth of 2-3 cm
