The Sugar Dragon Dragon Fruit variety is a hybrid created by Paul Thomson in Southern California and called the S8 Hybrid.<\/p>\n
This Dragon Fruit hybrid produces small half-pound to three-quarter pound oval-shaped fruit.<\/p>\n
The external appearance of the Sugar Dragon fruit is red with tiny deep green, almost brown fins.<\/p>\n
The flesh of the fruit is a bright red purplish color with a semi-firm texture that is very sweet.\u00a0 Some say it IS the sweetest of all dragon fruits!<\/p>\n
The first fruit tested was in 2019 and had an average brix score of 18, but research states a mature plant can produce fruit with a brix score into the twenties.<\/p>\n
The Sugar Dragons flowers are plentiful, very fragrant, and self-fertile. Pollen from the S8 Sugar Dragon is used in pollinating self-sterile varieties, and if known as a universal pollinator.<\/p>\n
