Flesh very firm and tart. It tasted just like cherries
Sin Espinas Dragon Fruit variety comes from the genus Selenicereus and an unknown species native to Nicaragua. It is one of five known varieties to be grown commercially there but the only plant of the five that are considered thornless.
Flowers are large that resemble typical Selenicereus flowers.
Flower bud to night-blooming flower is a typical 30 days then another 30 days to harvest. The most interesting aspect of this variety is its lack of spins. Yes, we repeated it, it’s thornless.
The fruits average size is a pound with thick pink skin with green fins. All aspects of this variety would appear that the fruit would have purple flesh, but to our surprise, it’s a firm, deep red flesh. The fruit is good quality with an average Brix score of 17. Like most red flesh varieties, the fruit is also very high in antioxidants. The flesh was very firm and tart. It tasted just like cherries, and we loved it!
The stems are thin and very light with 1 to 2 tiny spines near the areole considering this variety to be spinless.
