Dragonfruit, Physical Graffiti

Indulge in the succulent, pink-tinged skin and luscious, purple-hued flesh of this exquisite Dragonfruit, Physical Graffiti. Each fruit weighs between 0.75 to 1.5 pounds, making it medium to large in size. This exceptional variety is a must-try for home cultivators, boasting an unparalleled flavor. While it does require cross-pollination from other other red flesh varieties, the end result is well worth the effort.

The hybrid Dragonfruit, Physical Graffiti, is bred from both Hylocereus guatemalensis and Hylocereus undatus. Its large nocturnal blooms, over 14 inches in diameter, are abundant throughout the summer months. This variety boasts extensive flower production, making it a favorite among growers. Its growth pattern, typical of Hylocereus undatus, is characterized by three-sided growth and vigorous development. Additional research suggests that the 1-S variety and Physical Graffiti are one and the same, as the former was created by Paul Thomson. The 1-S is a hybrid of Rixford, a purple-fleshed Guatemalan variety, and Niezel, a white-fleshed undatus variety.
