"Self Pollinating Dragon Fruit " Pitaya, Hylocerus, Pithaya, Pitaya Cuttings, Dragon Fruit Cuttings
The Legendary Dragon fruit aka: Pitaya

​According to an ancient Chinese legend, the Dragon Fruit was created thousands of years ago by a fire breathing dragon. During a battle the dragon blew a final burst of fire containing the magnificent bright red fruit. The ancient Chinese believed that those who consumed the exotic pulp of dragon fruit are endowed with the strength, vitality and the immortality of the dragon. Well, immortality we won't vouch for but, the health benefits and delicious flavor of this exotic fruit is legendary.

Order your Dragon Fruit Vine and start growing your very own. Before you know it, you will enjoy the exotic fruit with friends and family. The fruit is large with red, white or pink colored flesh inside. Dragon Fruit plants are easy to grow in containers as long as you provide a strong support structure! 


Dragon Fruit offers excellent nutritional and health benefits.
​They are packed with high concentrations of antioxidants to boost the immune system.

THE FRUIT IS LARGE, RANGING IN SIZE FROM 0.75-1.5 LBS., AND OCCURS WITHOUT CROSS OR HAND POLLINATION.
THIS VARIETY IS CERTAINLY WORTHY OF ATTENTION BY COMMERCIAL GROWERS AND HOME OWNERS ALIKE.
​

​DAVID BOWIE: HYLOCEREUS UNDATUS
​
​
A SLENDER WHITE VARIETY THAT HAS A SWEET AND TANGY FLAVOR THAT IS SOMEWHAT LEMONY. THE FRUIT ARE MEDIUM TO LARGE WEIGHING UP TO A POUND. THIS VARIETY IS BEST EATEN FRESH, BUT IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR JUICING OR GARNISHING AS WELL. ITS VARIETY IS SELF POLLINATING.
​

NATURAL MYSTIC:  HYLOCEREUS POLYRHIZUS X H. UNDATUS
 
​INTRODUCED TO FLORIDA FROM THAILAND, AND IT IS GROWN ON A SMALL SCALE COMMERCIALLY IN HOMESTEAD, FLORIDA. IT IS A CONSISTENT PRODUCER OF DARK MAGENTA FLESHED FRUIT THAT TYPICALLY WEIGH ONE POUND.

THIS VARIETY DOES NOT REQUIRE CROSS OR HAND POLLINATION, AND IT WOULD BE A GREAT SELECTION FOR BOTH HOMEOWNERS AND COMMERCIAL FARMERS.

COSMIC CHARLIE:  HYLOCEREUS UNDATUS
 
​AN EXCELLENT SELF FERTILE CULTIVAR. LIKE MOST OF THE MAGENTA FLESHED VARIETIES IT HAS A SUPERB GRAPE, KIWI-LIKE FLAVOR. THE FRUIT ARE MEDIUM TO LARGE WEIGHING 0.75-1.25 LBS. THIS VARIETY WOULD BE BEST CHILLED AND EATEN OUT OF HAND OR USED AS A GARNISH. 

Picking, storing and eating Dragon Fruit


The best Dragon Fruit you will ever eat is the one you grow.  

Pick your dragon fruit about 35 - 40 days after it has been on the vine. Look for a fruit that has a deep red/orange almost  even color. The fruit should be just a bit soft to the touch. If you know how to pick a ripe kiwi at the produce stand, then you will have no problem choosing a Dragon Fruit. 

Fruit that is very firm is not ready to harvest. Don't be concerned that the spurs or wings are green, that's okay.

A fresh picked fruit can be eaten immediately and the flavor  is quite refreshing and tasty. We always get a boost of energy from eating the fruit.


After harvest you should refrigerate the fruit and enjoy within 3 days for best flavor. Fruit stored on a kitchen counter may spoil within a few days and loose all traces of sweetness. It may not taste very good at all. For longer storage you can  make a puree in a food processor and freeze the pulp for use in smoothies, desserts etc.

Pepe's Favorite Drink Recipe: 

Blend the Dragon Fruit with coconut water and ice in a blender. Really simple and really good!  Enjoy this refreshing and healthy drink,
