FREE: Dragon Fruit Seeds (15)

The listing, Dragon Fruit Seeds (15) has ended.

I grow several varieties of Dragon Fruit cactus but here in the northern part of Pa, we haven't had hot summers until this year so am in hopes of mine flowering and fruiting soon. A wonderful woman from Cal. sent me the fruit that you see in these pics. There is no name to the variety but will tell you that the seeds you are receiving will be from one of these and the taste is mild but sweet and something like grape/kiwi with a nice SWEET lemon aftertaste. These are not dessert cactus they are tropicals and will need to be protected in winters where you dip below 45 degees. Will need some kind of support when they grow or the "arms" will sprawl all over the place. Could grow up to 25' mine never grow past 6' I keep mine in pots. Care when handling they do have prickers...not bad one unless you stick your whole arm in a mass of them but you do want to be careful. Night flowering, and is pollinated by bats and moths. The dragon fruit cactus is starting to receive attention and has been on many collectors lists. The fruit to these seeds were red skin with white flesh. The seeds are so small you won't have to worry about eating them at all.
