Bahamut Dragon Fruit: Yellow Skin, Red Flesh, Self-Fertile

Grow large, sweet Bahamut dragon fruit with yellow skin and red flesh. This self-fertile hybrid needs only one plant to produce.

Asunta 3 dragon fruit grows fast with 19-21 brix sweetness. Plant a pollinator like Sugar Dragon for deep purple fruit.

Palora leads with 22 to 24 Brix. We compare top sweet varieties and explain why sugar scores alone do not define flavor.

Predator dragon fruit is a rare breeder selection. We stock Dark Star, the closest match with deep purple flesh and high sugar.

Condor dragon fruit reads 19 Brix with bright magenta flesh, sweet berry and grape notes, and a crisp watermelon texture.

Royal Red offers 18 brix sweetness and self-pollination. We recommend Physical Graffiti or Sugar Dragon as excellent alternatives.

Nicaragua Red covers several distinct cultivars. We compare Cebra, Lisa, and Sin Espinas, and recommend Robles Red for reliable sweet flavor.

San Ignacio offers bold red flesh but disputed pollination. We do not stock it. Try our reliable Robles Red instead.

Delight dragon fruit offers sweet pink flesh and reliable sets. Learn about its naming confusion and pollination needs.

Bruni dragon fruit pairs 21-22 brix sugar with a rare rosy floral note, on a small white-fleshed fruit from Eckhard Meier's breeding program.

Sin Espinas has sweet cherry-raspberry flavor and firm red flesh. We recommend Purple Haze as a reliable alternative.

Townsend Red does not exist. You likely want Townsend Pink. Learn the facts and find the best red-fleshed alternatives for your garden.
