FREE: 20 WHITE DRAGON FRUIT (Pitaya / Pitahaya / Strawberry Pear) seeds

The listing, 20 WHITE DRAGON FRUIT (Pitaya / Pitahaya / Strawberry Pear) seeds has ended.

The dragon fruit, also known as pitaya, is borne on a cactus. When the fruit is cut open, the flesh is revealed to be snow-white and peppered with tiny, edible black seeds throughout.
The flesh is mildly sweet, some say comparable to a melon. A source of calcium, fiber and vitamin C, the dragon fruit is widely cultivated throughout much of the tropics, particularly in Asia. Its popularity in tropical Asia combined with the dragon reference may lead us to believe it originated in Asia, but the fact is no one seems to agree on where it came from. We do however know it is in the cactus family (Cactaceae)
This vine-like cactus likes to climb, and is considered a semi-epiphyte, so providing some means of support is essential if you grow it.
