Jelly Bean Dragon Fruit — Description
Jelly Bean is a vigorous, reliable producer that performs well in both home gardens and commercial-style plantings. The plant is fast growing and productive, with fruit best picked slightly green to capture its peak flavour and texture.
The fruit has a striking appearance with red skin and stunning green fins, hiding a vivid purple flesh inside. Jelly Bean requires cross-pollination for fruit set and typically flowers in November, making it a great mid-season variety to pair with other bloomers.
This variety was sourced from a Queensland dragon fruit hobby grower and produces medium-sized fruit ranging from 300–600 g.
Taste Profile
Jelly Bean is loved for its firm, juicy flesh and layered flavour.
Expect a juicy red plum base with a pleasant tang, balanced beautifully by crunchy seeds.
According to one very honest taste tester (my daughter 😉), it tastes just like a raspberry jelly bean — while the rest of the family agrees the plum flavour really shines through.
