American Beauty

A tier

American Beauty is a named dragon fruit cultivar grown in US specialty cactus-fruit orchards—typically red or deep pink flesh depending on the clone line sold under the name, selected for flavour and backyard/greenhouse performance. Bracted fruit looks classic pitaya; sweetness aims above bland import averages when vine-ripened. Home growers prize named clones for hand-pollinated set. Pick mature and finish ripening if needed; eat chilled. Verify flesh colour with your nursery—trade names sometimes blur. Excellent for farmers’ market storytelling.
