Hylocereus undatus
Dragon Fruit

Cactacea

This a vining perennial that you need to grow somewhere where it can be as non cooperative as it needs to be.

It's triangular 'stem/foliage' tends to range anywhere it likes and defies control. All is forgiven though, when it flowers in the evenings and then produces it's wonderful fruit.

It will fruit several times a year.

The fruit is great for breakfast as it is not too sweet but very refreshing.

 


50 fresh seeds $3.50

 

 



It tolerates, or rather, seems to prefer reasonably dry soil and will comfortably climb trees if they are around so full sun is not a necessity.

The seed is very viable with an almost 100% strike rate.
