Nice!
I’ll have to check that out.
Someone on the other forum once suggested it could be La Verne Red.

They look so much better than anything I’ve ever seen in a store. Are yours in containers? So they go dormant like figs?
Mine are in the ground but they seem to produce better in containers. They’re grow naturally in tree crevices where small pockets of soil has formed. They’re not dormant but will not produce any fruit until the daily sun length kicks up a notch.

They are epiphytic cacti that also put roots into loamy soil. They can be grown in pots or in suitable ground in southern California. They are not deciduous here -- especially since they don't have leaves. All of them have recently been reclassified from Hylocereus into Selenicereus.
@Figology
Were the flower petals all white or multi-colored?

They are all the same color, almost a pale yellow/white

I didn't know La Verne red was self fertile. That's great news I think it holds the record in Hawaii for the biggest dragon fruit ever grown.
