New Variety – Introduced September 2023
Not available until 2025
Nicaraguan Red is an exciting new dragon fruit variety currently under evaluation in our orchard. Originally imported from a large-scale commercial dragon fruit plantation in Nicaragua, this cultivar has already shown strong potential in subtropical Queensland conditions.
With its bright purple flesh and thin, slightly green-toned skin, Nicaraguan Red is both visually striking and commercially appealing.
A special thank you to Andre, a passionate NSW dragon fruit enthusiast, for sharing this standout variety with us.
