Description

The listing, Dragonfruit Seeds has ended.

Up for bid are 25 dragon fruit seeds from the fruit pictured. The original cuttings that I grew this from came from the Philippines and this fruit is the white fleshed one. These are a wonderfully easy to care for plant that can be grown as a house plant just about anywhere. Many liken the taste of dragonfruit to that of kiwi and I would agree. The fruit are the size of a small melon and much easier to peel. These fruits are a real treat and if they can be found in a specialty market they trend to be expensive. I will be growing out a few of these from seed this spring and figured I wild offer up my surplus here so they don't go to waste. I have found several sites with good growing instructions and would be happy to send print our email instructions on growing these. Ask of my plants are grown organically and we use absolutely no pesticides, in fact we share our produce with nature as you may see a few ants in the picture...our fast happy turtles stay well fed when the bugs are big enough to hand pull. Thanks for looking and happy biding.

How long does it usually take for these to grow to maturity and start producing fruit?

I am not sure as this will be the first year I have grown them from seed. I purchased cuttings internationally and will post a few cuttings once the have routed and the weather warms up a bit. Time to maturity is usually the drawback to growing from seed but the plus side is that plants grown from seed are genetically different from the parent plant and so they are healthier and more sturdy than a clone. They adapt more readily to the environmental variances such as temperature our soil conditions. I will search the Web and post what I can find a far as a timeframe. Thanks for the great question!
