Edgar Valdivia is a renowned dragon fruit hybridizer known for his extensive work in creating new varieties. The statement about it taking 16 years to improve a hybrid from A1 to A4 is likely related to his dedication to improving dragon fruit through cross-pollination and careful selection. This process of developing new plant varieties, especially in a long-lived plant like dragon fruit, can take many years. Several sources mention Edgar Valdivia's involvement in creating numerous dragon fruit varieties like Trisha, Asuna, Frankie's Red, Condor, and others. He also works on projects like crossing different fruits to create new varieties, including attempts to create a dragon fruit with an orange flower by cross-pollinating with an Epiphyllum variety.
