The Valdivia Roja dragon fruit (Hylocereus ocamponis) is a unique and resilient variety known for its sweet, red-fleshed fruit.
 
cutting size range: 14-18in.
 
Why It Is Ideal for Year-Round Fruit
While most dragon fruit varieties have a limited summer-only peak, Valdivia Roja offers a significantly broader production schedule:
Extended Harvest Window: In regions like Southern California, Valdivia Roja can be harvested from July through late December or even January, providing fresh fruit during months when other varieties have long finished.
Rapid Maturation: Once a flower is pollinated, the fruit matures quickly, often ready to harvest in just 32 to 40 days.
Multiple Fruiting Waves: Healthy plants typically produce several "waves" or flushes of fruit throughout a single long growing season.
