FREE: Yellow Pitahaya "Dragon fruit"

The listing, Yellow Pitahaya "Dragon fruit" has ended.

One cutting 6-12" with system rooting, fresh from my garden.

The second is even sweeter and holds the title of the sweetest of all the sweet pitayas, it's the yellow pitaya (Hylocereus megalanthus). The yellow pitaya is smaller than both of the red-skinned species and as its name suggests it has a bright yellow skin with white flesh. As the finest of all the dragonfruits, the yellow pitaya is well worth growing at home if you are able to find it and growing conditions where you live are suitable.
Yellow dragonfruit plants grow as a trailing, vine-like cactus. The plants can grow to a large size (with stems up to 20ft / 6m long) and thus require a strong trellis for support to get the best productivity out of them. The stems can produce aerial roots anywhere along their length which helps them to anchor onto nearby trees and other surfaces as they grow. Yellow dragonfruit plants are epiphytic and require very little soil to survive, but they can also be grown in-ground like conventional plants. Yellow pitayas can also be grown in containers which have been only half filled with potting mix, as they'll become large plants the pot also need to be large (around 15 gallons / 50 litres).
