Flesh has a juicy sweetness that is pink in color.

Edgars Baby Dragon Fruit is a hybrid variety that comes from Selenicereus Stenopterus and Selenicereus Guatemalensis. This variety also has the species undatus in its gene. 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.

The 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. The flower opens at dusk and closes at sunrise. When compared to other Selenicereus 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 we used H. undatus pollen to set fruit.

the Fruit has a Stunning Appearance: Round, scaly, red fruit. This succulent from the cactus family is as much an ornamental delight as it is a culinary treasure.

Slit open the fruit, and you're greeted with a mesmerizing reddish or sometimes pinkish inner pulp. This soft, juicy flesh is dotted with a multitude of tiny, edible black seeds, reminiscent of a starry night sky.

The taste of Edgar's Baby Dragon Fruit is a delightful blend. It carries a sweetness, balanced with a subtle tanginess, creating a harmonious dance on the palate. The flavor can be likened to a fusion of pear and kiwi, but with its own unique twist that sets it apart.
