The result of years of plant breeding and careful selection, Dragon Fruit ‘Edgar’s Baby’ has a sweet and tangy, reddish inner flesh with tiny, edible, black seeds. The round, red fruit has prominent scales on the outer rind. This red-fleshed variety contains lycopene, a natural antioxidant that’s good for your health. Dragon Fruit foliage looks similar to Orchid Cactus and it needs a trellis for support. Once the vine matures at 4-5’ tall, it begins flowering and fruiting. Fruit ripens four to five weeks after flowering and you can expect successive harvests throughout the summer and fall season.

Fun and dramatic

One of my favorite plants, it grows surprisingly fast (even in New England). Although easy to grow and forgiving of many conditions, northern growers should be ready for the challenge of growing this plant out of its native zone. The sheer size of the plant requires some creative thinking when growing indoors for the winter, and more when it comes to moving the plant outside for the summer. It's a very cool cactus and, in my opinion, worth the effort. Purchased about 2 years ago, mine has just reached fruiting size and I'm hoping for a flower this year.
