I am thrilled to announce that I have found another Dragon fruit, this time of the Yellow-skinned variety!
Kluang Yellow (Selenicereus megalanthus)
and Red skinned/white fleshed Kluang (Hylocereus undatus)
I prefer the yellow as it has sweeter meat and it is stickier. The two poor Dragon fruits got cut up and passed around, I had to take care to save some seed from everybody’s gastric enthusiasm. I did get some planted, and they are now safely settled on damp potting soil and have little to no risk of being ingested. I really like the bottom half of an egg carton for this job, and a big zip lock keeps them moist.
It will take my seedlings 2 or 3 years to bear fruit, when a leaf cutting would only take 7 or so months! Although am willing to wait, I am tempted to get myself a green house and grow them to sell.
