Lisa Dragon Fruit Plant

Lisa Dragon Fruit

Description

New to our collection in 2022

Lisa is a productive red-fleshed hybrid (Hylocereus polyrhizus × costaricensis) originating from Nicaraguan cultivars. A highly regarded variety known for consistent production and strong climate tolerance.

This plant produces red skin with green fins and deep red flesh, protected by a thick rind (approx. 5mm skin thickness), giving it good handling quality.

Fruit size ranges from 450–550g, making it a medium-sized, market-friendly variety. From flower to harvest, fruit maturity averages around 44 days under warm growing conditions.

Self-sterile — requires cross pollination for reliable fruit set.

Lisa, Rosa and Cebra are considered to share very similar genetics. We sell them under the names they were purchased as; however, slight differences can occur, especially when evaluated under genetic testing or different growing conditions.

Sourced from Nicaraguan lineage and now grown successfully in SEQ conditions.
