Zamorano Dragon Fruit is a Selenicereus Polyrhizus hybrid that is native to Honduras. It is a variety collected from the agriculture university, and this is where it received its name.

Flowers are night-blooming and are quite huge, over 14 inches across. When fully open, it’s a few hours after sunset and closes at sunrise. This variety is a great source of pollen, as well as one of the first varieties to bloom and continue to flower all year long.

This variety is a small to medium-sized fruit typically weighing .75 to 1 pound. The skin of the fruit is red with dark green fins. The flesh is crimson red and has a sweet, mild flavor. This Dragon Fruit is excellent eaten fresh, in jams, as a garnish, or as juice in drinks.

`The growth on the variety is a darker green three-sided growth with medium-sized spines. As a starter, growth is on the slower side but gets better when mature. Because of this slow growth, supplies are limited, and this plant sells out yearly.
