Edgar’s Baby Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus stenopterus x Hylocereus guatemalensis)
A Compact, Sweet, and Unique Variety for Home Growers
Edgar’s Baby is a special dragon fruit variety developed by renowned hybridizer Edgar Valdivia. A seedling from his celebrated Asunta series, Edgar’s Baby is a hybrid of Hylocereus stenopterus and Hylocereus guatemalensis. This compact, vigorous plant produces gorgeous night-blooming flowers and uniquely flavored fruit, making it a must-have for collectors and home growers alike.
What Makes Edgar’s Baby Dragon Fruit Unique?
-
Exquisite Flowers
Edgar’s Baby produces medium-sized, night-blooming flowers with solid green buds—nearly identical to the Asunta series flowers. These flowers are self-sterile and require cross-pollination to set fruit. -
One-of-a-Kind Fruit
The fruit skin stays green as it ripens, making harvest timing tricky, but it’s typically ready 32 days after pollination. Inside, the flesh ranges from vibrant pink to deep purple, offering a firm yet juicy texture and a flavor often compared to juicy fruit candy! -
Perfect Size & Taste
The fruit averages 0.75 to 1 pound, with a Brix rating of 15-17, delivering a satisfying balance of sweetness and refreshing tartness.
Why Grow Edgar’s Baby Dragon Fruit?
-
Compact Growth Habit
Ideal for containers, patios, and small garden spaces! Edgar’s Baby has a more controlled growth pattern compared to larger varieties, making it easier to manage. -
Highly Productive & Fast Growing
Once established, this variety blooms and fruits reliably, often producing within the first couple of years under the right conditions. -
Exotic & Nutritious
Like all dragon fruits, Edgar’s Baby is packed with antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C—making it a delicious and healthy treat right from your garden. -
Stunning Visual Appeal
With its lush green stems, striking flowers, and colorful interior flesh, this variety adds tropical beauty to any growing space.
Pollination & Fruit Production
Edgar’s Baby is self-sterile, meaning it requires cross-pollination with another compatible dragon fruit variety to bear fruit. We recommend pairing it with Hylocereus undatus (White-Fleshed Dragon Fruit) or other Hylocereus species that bloom at a similar time. Hand-pollination works well if you’re growing in a small space.
Planting & Care for Edgar’s Baby Dragon Fruit
- Climate: Thrives in USDA zones 9-11, or grow it in containers and overwinter indoors in cooler areas.
- Light: Prefers full sun but tolerates partial shade in hotter climates.
- Soil: Needs well-draining soil, like cactus mix or sandy soils.
- Watering: Water deeply, allowing the soil to dry between waterings. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
- Support: As a climbing cactus, it requires a trellis or sturdy post for best growth.
About the Spines
Like many dragon fruit varieties, Edgar’s Baby tends to have sharp spines along its young, tender stems. As the plant matures, the older, woodier growth often has fewer or softer spines. Some growers also remove the spines from their plants to make them easier to handle.
If you prefer a smoother plant, you can:
- Clip spines with scissors or pruners at the base.
- Gently shave them down with a knife or razor blade.
- Some commercial growers use a small torch to quickly burn off spines (advanced method).
Removing spines isn’t necessary, but it makes maintenance and harvesting much easier—especially if you're working in tight spaces or around the fruit.
When to Harvest
Because sometimes the fruit skin stays green, traditional color changes don’t indicate ripeness. Instead:
- Track 32 days after pollination, or
- Gently press the fruit—ripe fruit yields slightly under pressure.
While Edgar’s Baby fruit typically features a green skin, sometimes with a light pink blush at ripeness, and vibrant pink to purple flesh inside. The flavor is sweet and juicy, often described as tasting like juicy fruit candy! Once harvested, enjoy the juicy, candy-sweet flesh fresh, blended in smoothies, or added to fruit salads!

Not the Complete Book
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This review is for the Wordsworth Classics Luxe edition of Little Women.
Quality issues aside - the first thing to know is that this is NOT the complete version of this book. It is only chapters 1-23, or Part 1, and the full book has 47 chapters including Part 2. It is rare to see the book split like this, and wasn't even something I considered when purchasing it. It doesn’t say this anywhere in the product description.
Now, onto quality:
The good: This book has a lovely cover and interior page design. It also has a nice orange coloring on the sides and a standard quality ribbon. The text seems to be a good size and would be comfortable for reading.
The bad: The overall quality is very poor. The book is made of what feels like construction paper, and it arrived with many blemishes and defects to its sides and corners. This book looks like it’s 25 years old, and is definitely not worth a cost of $20. Even if you were to purchase a new copy in relatively good shape, I can’t see this offering any kind of long term durability.
Overall, I would not recommend this product to someone looking for a nice reading or display copy, or the full version, of Little Women.
As a note: I also purchased the Luxe edition of Jane Eyre which had the same quality issues. I left a similar review on that page, although the full contents of that book appeared to be there.

You can get this online free, but I bought it. Let Fanon turn your brain inside out.
I actually like the idea of supporting a press that is publishing Fanon.
When I was growing up with my dad working with the SCLC and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., as part of the night security crew for the summer marches, I was probably more aware than most Americans -- certainly most Americans outside of the black community -- of how much permeability there was between the nonviolent SCLC, and the Black Panther movement, for which Fanon was a seed influence.
Youth in the SNCC organization, the youth group associated with the SCLC, often went back and forth between SNCC and the Panthers as they developed their activist identity and their ideas of how justice might be achieved.
The phrase "by any means necessary" used by the Panthers often scared the bejeezus out of the white community. But when I sat down with my father -- who was an adherent of formal nonviolence -- he handed me Fanon to read, and told me that it was a valid investigation as to whether violence should be considered if nonviolent means were not entertained by the state.
To my dad, who was a peaceful but fiercely justice-oriented man (for those of you who know the idiom "fire of Amos" he had it), he considered that without the counterpoint of the Panthers, MLK would never have gotten a hearing in Washington DC.
Just the idea that there were revolutionaries in American society looking at American "apartheid" and saying, "We are willing to take care of our own if you separate us. We see our situation as that of a post-colonial slavery society and use the model of African liberation as our model. We are willing to be peaceful if we are given justice in peace, but we do not believe that you are acting in good faith and will use whatever means necessary to see you follow your own promises of justice and see justice for our own people if you will not see that done."
That was actually a step down from Fanon. That was actually optimism.
But all white Americans heard out of any of that was: "...by any means necessary." They didn't think of how they were creating the circumstances that might precipitate violence. That whites had created a system that instituted violence to keep slaves, and later free blacks, contained and preserve power and privilege for the white majority.
It is hard for most Americans to even realize that America -- although we became independent from England -- continued as a colonial nation and economy on our own continent and territory. That all the institutions of the repression and destruction of indigenous and imported-slave cultures that happened "over there" in countries that Europeans colonized far from home, we did at home as a break-away colony, and the Europeans who conquered America never relented, compromised, or acknowledged that colonial reality in the way that the Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Italian, French, and British Empires did in their colonial domains.
So Fanon is someone worth reading, not only for Africans, or for African-Americans, but for any American or anyone else in the world who wants to better ponder white privilege in America and how it became so very different from colonial privilege as that faded in Africa, through the lens of this Algerian revolutionary philosopher, who so influenced our Panthers.
I remain committed to nonviolence personally, but I understand intensely how MLK and Malcolm balance each other. And how that can actually lead to better peaceful solutions, in a social justice conflict where the status quo has been preserved by judicial and extrajudicial violence by a superior force.
This is still relevant in puppet regimes all over the world. In client states of capitalist powers and of Russia and China. In the conflicts surrounding Israel, and the conflicts throughout the Middle East and Central Asia that are often couched in sectarian terms or sectarian vs secular terms.
It is vital to understanding countries like Zimbabwe or South Africa, where the dynamics of early black leadership as colonial-wannabes are creating environments of corruption and scandal, and robbing their own people.
Everyone should read Fanon. If you can't afford the book here, you can find it online free. This book, and Black Skin, White Masks, both highly recommended.
If you don't like Marxist/Socialist politics, try to suspend disbelief a bit. The philosophy, sociology, and psychology is amazing.
