The fruit is sweet and juicy, with a texture similar to that of kiwi fruit, and has a mild, slightly tangy flavor.

Mexican Gold Dragon Fruit plants are climbing cacti that can grow up to 20 feet in length, with long, thin, green stems covered in small, sharp spines. The plants produce large, showy flowers that are typically white, pink, or yellow, and bloom at night. The flowers are followed by the fruit, which can be up to 6 inches long and 4 inches in diameter, and weigh up to a pound.

Mexican Gold Dragon Fruit plants are relatively easy to grow, and prefer warm, humid climates with plenty of sunshine. They can be grown in pots or in the ground, and require well-draining soil and regular watering. The plants are self-fertile, and can produce fruit within 2-3 years of planting. They are also relatively pest-resistant, although they may be susceptible to mealybugs, scale insects, and other common garden pests.

Mexican Gold Dragon Fruit plants can be propagated through cuttings or by planting seeds. They are known to be vigorous growers, and may require regular pruning to keep them from becoming too unwieldy. Overall, they are a beautiful and tasty addition to any tropical or subtropical garden.
