White Vietnamese Dragon Fruit Plant

Vietnamese White Dragon Fruit

Vietnamese White is a variety imported from Vietnam. It has night blooming large fragrant flowers that emerge in late spring to early fall. When pollination occurs an egg-shaped pink colored fruit with green fins will appear. This variety has a white flesh that is tangy with a watermelon texture and small eatable seeds. In fact, the dramatic color contrast between the inside and outside is what makes this variety so popular among growers and consumers worldwide.

Plant Characteristics

Stems are three-sided with small spines along the rib. Budding is very heavy and is suggested to thin out to produce even larger fruit. If you are a first time Dragon Fruit grower, this is the choice for you. This variety is self-pollinating, meaning it will set fruit without being hand pollinated.

This plant does extremely well in pots and is usually trellised. For those who can grow them outside, they are a useful ornamental, as well as nutritious. White Vietnamese is self fertile, meaning it can fruit without a different variety.

Space 8'-10' apart on trellis, fence, or wall. Or grow in a pot in the greenhouse or indoors, moving the plant to larger containers as the plant grows. Outside zones are 9-10.
