WATCH: How to plant Dragon Fruit

Another Paul Thomson creation, one of the pioneers in dragon fruit breeding, this cultivar has been considered a staple of commercial high-end dragon fruit production for decades.

The plant is not reliably self fertile, and should to be planted with another cultivar to set fruit. On the other hand, the fruit are huge (up to 900grams) and the flavour is superbly fruity!

The magenta-pink colour of Purple Haze’s flesh is created by a cocktail of the potent super-antioxidants betanin, indicaxanthin, phyllocactin and hylocerenin and their related compounds.
