Description

The listing, Pitaya (Dragon Fruit) has ended.

From the Cactaceae family.
Has delicious edible fruit that tastes similar to a kiwi.
HAS BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS.
Hardy in zones 10-11 otherwise can be kept as houseplant , taken in before first frost. Prolonged cold will kill it.
Fast grower , when it gets larger it will need to have support.
Blooms in late summer.
Will send growing directions with the starts.
Have very few of the starts and they will be either pink or white fruit.
I have them planted together so I don't remember which is which so I can't guarantee the color.
EASY STARTER.
this is for 1 start.

*****I will also add an extra surprise to this package since the shipping is higher for the plants safety.

You shipping is very excessive for a 3 inch start.

Jul 2nd, 2013 at 11:03:05 AM PDT by

This can't afford to be smashed in transit....I am new to this and would welcome any suggestions.... :)

A small bubble mailer with 'LIVE PLANTS DO NOT CRUSH" written in large letters in a red marker on the envie. Average cost is approx 3 stamps

You can change it now before any bids are placed.

After careful consideration, I have decided to still go ahead with the extra protection of the box. This is a thick piece of plant.

He has others

Jul 5th, 2013 at 5:11:09 PM PDT by

So this is for 1 seedling and your charging for shipping? Or is this an actual cutting from a mature plant which would make more sense?
