Malaysian Purple – A Curious Comparison Begins!
It was brought to our attention that Daley’s Fruit Tree Nursery was selling a Malaysian Purple dragon fruit that appeared different to the one we grow. Naturally, curiosity got the better of us – so I took a 7-hour road trip to pick up a plant and grow it side-by-side with ours for comparison.
At first glance, the growth habits of both plants look quite similar.
Purchased in May 2025, this plant will now be part of an ongoing observation trial.
I'll be documenting growth, flower behavior, fruit characteristics, and any notable differences as the seasons go on. It’s always exciting to dig deeper into variety differences – especially when names overlap but genetics may not.
Stay tuned – I’ll share updates as we learn more!
Care:
Plant into an excellent quality potting mix to a depth of 2-3 cm
Your dragon fruit will be marked with an arrow, plant ^ Arrow point up to the sky.
