Cotton Candy Dragon Fruit STARTER
The Cotton Candy dragon fruit is a hybrid variety created by esteemed Epiphyllum hybridizer Don Burnett from Southern California. By carefully selecting Connie Mayer and pollinating it with G1, Don has created an exceptional fruit with a complex and delightful taste profile. Cotton Candy was first fruited by Donovan Vasta, achieving a remarkable Brix of 20 and a notably sweet flavor, enhanced by a hint of coconut. The plant showcases a beautiful white flower adorned with unique yellow stripes in the center of some petals. The fruit itself boasts a pleasingly crisp texture and a vibrant pink color.
