Venus Dragon Fruit Hybrid

Venus – Red-Fleshed Dragon Fruit

Venus is a newer dragon fruit variety, introduced in late 2023, with its first fruit harvested in December 2024. The initial fruit formed on an upright branch and was small at 94 g, but with a respectable Brix of 16.6. As the plant matures and establishes stronger growth, larger fruit sizes are expected.

The fruit is round, with red skin and deep red flesh, producing elegant white flowers during the flowering period. Venus is self-sterile and requires cross-pollination to set fruit. Typical mature fruit size ranges from 250–300 g, making it a convenient, portion-friendly option.
