"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.

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.
