Here is a fruit of Hylocereus undatus cultivar 'Paul Thomson'. In my climate, it is about 50-60 days from flower to ripe fruit. The flavor is not as fruity or as sweet as H. guatemalensis. Overall I would rate it very good (4 out of 5), and for a white dragon fruit it is one of the best.

Smile Re: Dragon Fruit

This is my first time growing a dragon fruit plant, and I got a Roger Meyer cutting from Bob. I see from your pic Dean...they grow roots everywhere!


My cutting is starting to do the same...

Roger Meyer is perhaps best known for his work with Kiwis. He is a frequent speaker at agricultural conferences on the west coast. He and his wife Shirley also sell their wide collection of fruiting plants at CRFG and other horticultural fairs.

Here's a random picture of Roger:

Roger also has one of, if no the largest, selection of jujube varieties. I've got six from him so far. I'll probably buy his jujube book the next time I see him.
