The first two pictures are of the dragon fruit I received, and the third picture is of someone else's. I ordered mine after reading the reviews. Are they the same variety? Or was my box specially selected to contain the smallest and unripeest fruit? They're all wrinkled and look like they haven't ripened even after being stored for a while. Each one is smaller than my palm! Speechless
Olivia
It’s very fresh.
