Edgars BabyEdgars Baby Dragon Fruit is a hybrid variety that comes from Hylocereus stenopterus and Hylocereus guatemalensis. This variety also has the species undatus in its genes. Edgar’s Baby is a seedling from the Asunta series from an Asunta 1,2,3, or 4 and Condor variety. The results are a white flower and green skin purple-fleshed fruit. GrowthThe growth of Edgars Baby is similar to H. undatus in size, shape, color, and thorns. The plant material is three-sided with small spins and bright green color. In 2020, our three-year-old plant seemed to tolerate the sun well, and we find this surprising compared to other H. stenopterus hybrids. FlowerThe flower is a medium-sized bloom with inner petals being white and outer petals white, yellow, and green. The flower bud is identical to the Asunta flower buds, except they are a solid green color. In Louisiana, the flower opens at dusk and closes at sunrise. When compared to other Hylocereus varieties, this is earlier. The stigma is very similar to a Connie Mayer stigma in size and shape; however, it’s much further from the anthers. Flowers of Edgars Baby are self-sterile, so they must be pollinated by another variety to set fruit.FruitFruits weigh in at three-quarters to one pound. The fruit’s mature skin is green, making it difficult to determine when the fruit is ripe. However, leaving it alone will eventually show some red color bleeding through the skin, making it a perfect time to pick. We recommend taking note when the flower opens and harvesting the fruit 50 to 65 days after blooming. Once ripe, the flesh has a juicy sweetness that is pink in color. Our second-year fruit was much better than year one, with several fruits over a pound and an average brix rating of 19. In summary, this variety’s flowers and fruit make it unique compared to other Dragon Fruit varieties. Collectors should mark this one down on their “List to Have” for this reason alone.
