American Beauty - Dragon Fruit Plant
(H. guatemalensis)
Pick up from Tewantin, QLD or posted (see below)
The typical plant for sale is shown in photo 2. Other images are for illustrative purposes only showing fruit from our parent plant and measurements taken on it.
American Beauty is a cultivar of dragon fruit which was originally bred in the USA. It no doubt gets its name from the beautiful vibrant colour of the pulp and the wonderful taste.
The Fruit
American Beauty dragon fruit has a stunning beautiful vibrant purple pulp which is almost hot neon pink in colour. The fruits are round in shape and are medium in size (about 250 - 500g) and have high sugar content (18% brix). The flavour is sweet, tangy and grape like. The fruit is of superb quality.
Flavour: ★★★★★
Fruiting time: late spring to autumn
Plant Care
American Beauty is a vigorous and disease resistant cultivar and is easy to grow. It is happy in both full sun and part shade. I haven’t seen sunburn on this cultivar like some get.
It is beneficial to hand pollinate all Dragon Fruit, guides can be found on YouTube. Dragon Fruit need a heavy support to climb up and hang over to flower. Being a jungle cactus, they prefer regular watering as long as it drains away quickly. They prefer rich organic soil and monthly feeds with composted organic plant foods. During early spring give additional potassium (potash of sulphate) to help develop a strong bloom response and good fruit set.
Plant Vigour: ★★★★★
If you purchase one of my dragon fruit plants, I can also provide a guide on how to trellis them for growing in pots.
