Black Dragon Dragon Fruit – Ocamponis × Coniforus

Description:
Black Dragon is a rare and striking dragon fruit variety known for its deep purple skin and almost black flesh. This dramatic fruit stands out both visually and in flavour, making it a unique addition to any dragon fruit collection.

This variety is self-sterile and requires cross-pollination to produce fruit. It is an early flowering plant and tends to flower consistently throughout the season when growing conditions are favourable.

Black Dragon handles full sun conditions well and develops medium-sized fruit with intensely coloured flesh. The fruit typically weighs around 150 g and contains plenty of seeds that provide a pleasant crunch.

Because of its unusual colour and distinctive flavour profile, Black Dragon is often grown by collectors and enthusiasts looking for something different from the sweeter commercial varieties.
