Very LARGE Dragon Fruit ripening currently @ The Cove'.......
Dragon Fruit are the “Pitahaya-producing” cacti of the genus Hylocereus and are originally native to Mexico. They were transplanted to Central America, East and Southern Asia countries, where they are heavily cultivated for their fruit. A resemblance in taste to a cross between a watermelon and kiwi....with tons of “edible” tiny black seeds contained within the fruit (much like a Kiwi).
This one is on a plant that is over 8’ foot tall…This is the largest (fruit of this species) I have personally grown .....
