Dragon Fruit
Information
Dragon fruit is a tropical fruit that has become increasingly popular in recent years. Selenicereus undatus, the white-fleshed pitahaya, is a species of Cactaceae and is the most cultivated species in the genus. It is used both as an ornamental vine and as a fruit crop - the pitahaya or dragon fruit.
Though people primarily enjoy it for its unique look and taste, evidence suggests it may provide health benefits as well.
I grew these from seed. Yes, lots germinated!! No, I have not had them flower yet, as they are still small. Most people tend to just grow them as a houseplant, winding them around supports. Photos are indicative only, please ask what I currently have available.
To get them to fruit and flower, these need to be secured, so that they grow upright. Then allow the growth to cascade down.
