- Climbing perennial cactus

A succulent perennial cactus that grows as a climbing vine with yellow-white flowers and red-skinned fruit with green fins. The fruit is large, weighing up to 900g each, and the flesh is white with a sweet tropical flavour with hints of lychee and lime. A fast growing, self-fertile variety that's good for beginners.
Dragon fruit is a tropical plant native to Mexico and Honduras. The cactus-like plants are succulent and are usually grown up a pole or trellis, with multiple, spreading branches at the top. Tropical flowers that resemble waterlilies open at night and are pollinated by bats or insects. The fruit has a hard skin and soft, sweet-falvoured flesh speckled with small edible seeds. Also known as 'Pitaya', 'Pitahya', 'Queen of the Night', 'Night-blooming Cactus', 'Moonlight Cactus' and 'Cinderella Plant'.
Note: bare-rooted cuttings are between 15cm and 25cm in length. Plant with the arrow pointing upwards.
