Oaxacan White is a rare and understudied variety of dragon fruit. In this article we will tell you what is known about it.
Description
The state of Oaxaca in Mexico is the origin of the white dragon fruit. The growth pattern of H.undatus is typical. Because this plant does not produce its own pollen, it must be pollinated by another species in order to produce fruit.

The Hylocereus genus, of which the undatus species is a part, is the source of the Oaxaca variety of the Pitaya. The vivid pink skin of the 1 to 1.5-pound fruits contrasts with the white flesh on the inside of the fruit. This fruit definitely sticks out from the crowd. The fruit has an average brix score of 15, and it has a pleasant acidity that lingers after eating it.
It takes about 35 days from the time the flower is pollinated until the fruit is ready for harvest. This type of plant grows quite well, but does not have the ability to self-pollinate. So if you are a beginner, you should give preference to growing other varieties of dragonfruit.
