Description

The Hylocereus “Black Afrikanis” is a specific and highly sought-after cultivar of dragonfruit (pitaya) known primarily for its striking and unusual appearance. 

The skincolor is near black and highly prized by collectors for its dramatic look. The color of the flesh is deep red to purple. The intense color of the flesh suggest a high level of antioxidants and often correlates with a rich, sweet flavor. 

The Black Afrikanis is theoretically self-pollinating, but it is advisable to cross-pollinate the flowers with another variety to obtain good fruit.

The Black Afrikanis is special because it is a visually stunning dragon fruit that also produces high-quality, tasty fruit. It combines the appeal of an exotic ornamental plant with the practical benefit of a delicious harvest, making it a standout variety for hobbyists and collectors.
