American Beauty Dragon Fruit

American Beauty is one of the most sought-after dragon fruit varieties due to its stunning appearance, self-fertility, and great taste. The plant has much skinnier branches than most varieties, with thorns that don’t match up on adjacent ribs. This makes the plant look quite unique, if a little spindly. Despite its skinny branches, American Beauty still produces fruit of a reasonable size on its own pollen, unlike Sugar Dragon and Malaysian Purple which have far thicker branches. I find this quite interesting as it seems counter-intuitive. Nevertheless, they are all great varieties to have in your garden, and American Beauty especially is one of the most visually appealing.

The taste is an exquisite blend of sweetness with a hint of earthiness, often likened to a cross between a kiwi and a pear. Perfect for smoothies, fruit salads, or simply enjoyed on its own, the American Beauty Dragon Fruit is a sublime tropical indulgence that promises to captivate your palate.
