Great info and little history and lineage. Wow, AB a top 5? Glad I have one, now waiting for flowers! Thanks Paul!

[@ryanquinn1257]

AB is always a winner no matter what the brix says. So consistent and overall tough plant. AB, SD, Dark Star I've never gone wrong.

[@noahhuckleby6517]

I’ve tasted the American Beauty variety dragon fruit before and to me, it has a sweet grape/ pomegranate like flavor to it. I even have this variety growing. Can’t wait to possibly get fruits from it next year.

[@RAREDRAGONFRUIT]

Yes, if they are picked a bit earlier than this fruit, it will be more tart like a pomegranate. I like them sweeter

Paul thanks for the video 👍🏾

[@simplysimple7628]

I just got me some American Beauty cuttings from a friend. Can’t wait to get some fruit man🤙🏼👍🏼🙏🏼

[@mauroangel6296]

Great! So What would be the the top 5 to grow ?

[@RAREDRAGONFRUIT]

That's a hard question. I'd probably grow AB, Purple Haze, LaVerne Pink, a red fleshed variety that is sweet, and a purple flowering variety like one of the Asunta plants.

Thanks for watching

[@dantheman6931]

Awesome! I want to grow this variety! What varieties do you recommend for the Beaumont area of California?

[@RAREDRAGONFRUIT]

Beaumont seems to have a similar temp range to Northern SD. I'd recommend Physical Graffiti, Dark Star, American Beauty, Sugar Dragon... many others we feature on our channel.

@@RAREDRAGONFRUIT rad thanks! I’m picking up some half wine barrels tomorrow and starting on building the trellis!

[@madraakatsuki2380]

So If the ab fruit is not turning red during 43 or 45 days, do we still harvest the AB or do we leave it on the branch until it turn red?

[@RAREDRAGONFRUIT]

I'd check for cracking and wiggle it. If it wiggles up and down and side to side, like a loose tooth, it's ready to harvest.
