A non e-mouse starts with ... I would like to know where I can get some Dragon Fruit in Adelaide so I can try it and see if I like it or not. I would like to try all 3 varieties. I tried in the Central Market today but no luck, maybe it is not the right time of year or they just don't sell it. What season is it available in? What price should I expect to pay for it? I noticed Daleys currently have cuttings for 3 varieties in stock but I do not want to order any yet in case I end up not liking it, like what happened with an Avocado I bought the other day, I can't stand it even though I love Avocado dip. | About the Author A non emouse1 Adelaide 23rd December 2008 11:09pm #UserID: 1769 Posts: 5 View All A non emouse1's Edible Fruit Trees |
Anonymous says... the central market and also asian supermarkets do have them but they seem to only have the white fleshed ones which are fairly bland and not worth the $6.00 or so dollars you can pay for them. they would be out of season now. i have some red fleshed and yellow type growing but no fruit yet. the yellow ones are suppossed to be the best tasting. | About the Author 24th December 2008 7:20am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Jantina says... Found a white fleshed one in Woolies yesterday (in Mt. Gambier) and never having tasted one , had to buy it ($17.95 a kilo!).Rather bland I am sad to say. Of course that may be because it was picked too early or something. I mean you would not even think that a home grown ripened on the tree apricot and those little pale yellow/orange golfballs they sell in the shops were the same fruit would you ? So perhaps it is the same with Pitayas. | About the Author Jantina Mt. Gambier S.A. 24th December 2008 10:36pm #UserID: 1351 Posts: 1272 View All Jantina's Edible Fruit Trees |

Adam says... The fruit is bland in general. The much smaller yellow fruited form has the most flavour, similar to a supermarket honeydew. However, they are beautiful flowering epiphyte cactus and worth growing for the flowers alone. In fact similar cactus have been grown in Australia for the flowers for decades. | About the Author Adam Melbourne 27th December 2008 6:51pm #UserID: 1613 Posts: 110 View All Adam's Edible Fruit Trees |

JnrPermy says... Has anyone here actually grown dragonfruit in SA? I've been given some cuttings and am at a bit of a loss as to where to plant them in my yard! I've got both the white and the red varieties. The lady I got them off had them growing in a greenhouse, but I'm hoping that's not necessary. Thanks for any help provided :) | About the Author JnrPermy Kadina 18th March 2017 7:51am #UserID: 15776 Posts: 2 View All JnrPermy's Edible Fruit Trees |
Peter91 says... JnrPermy they grow and fruit here fine, I've got several varieties growing and if you take the odd look around you'll see several houses growing things in the ground out in the open such as dragon fruits and mango etc. There's a house along holbrooks road that has one growing on a shoddy trellis that fruits regularly. | About the Author Peter91 NORTH PLYMPTON,5037,SA 20th March 2017 8:24am #UserID: 11892 Posts: 111 View All Peter91's Edible Fruit Trees |
