5879 Hylocereus ocamponis - Tricia Pitaya, Dragon Fruit

Large shrub 5-10 ftVine or creeperFull sunSemi-shadeModerate waterWhite/off-white flowersEdibleThorny or spinySubtropical, cold hardy at least to 30s F for a short timeSeaside, salt tolerant plant

Tricia is a Dragon Fruit variety developed by Edgar Valdivia, a member of the California Fare Growers Association. It was named after one of his daughters. It is a cross between Hylocereus polyrhizus and a Hylocereus ocamponis and has nearly identical characteristics to the Hylocereus ocamponis. The plant is a strong grower with interesting greyish green stems. The gray coating on the stem help protect the plant from the heat in the summer time and cold in the winter time. These stems are very long thick three sided segments with large spines. Flower budding to flower is 30 days and another 30 days from flower to fruit. When flowering the blooms are very impressive with bright colors and extra-large up to 15 inches in diameter. Once mature the plant flowers during the summer time. The variety is not self-pollinating so it will need help with hand pollination. It is also not self-fertile so it will need pollen from another variety. Once pollinated the fruit is a good size with an average weight of one pound. The fruit is egg shaped with a unique look to it having many small fins. Due to its hybrid crossing the taste of the fruit is different from typical Hylocereus ocamponis. The red fleshed fruit has a nice taste sweetness having no acidity aftertaste.
