Dragonfruit is fruit of a cactus, in this case Hylocereus undatus. It is also sold as Red Pitaya and tastes somewhat like a kiwi fruit. We have sold them for a long time at the grocers where I work, but until I read MikeC's blog, I didn't realise what sort of plant they came from. Then I tried to grow the seed, hopefully into a cactus plant that will flower and maybe even fruit. The cacstus is, however, huge! so I don't know how sucessful this venture will be, but it will be interesting. Check out Mike's blog for some photos and an interesting read.

Will do...thanks Grammazoo. It's amazing what you can buy at the grocery... ginger, persimmons, dragonfruit, pineapple, avocado, seeds in grapefruit and lemons... lots of stuff. I was toying with the idea of trying to germinate a mango seed.

I usually get into growing the 'grocery' stuff when I am oh-so-sick of winter and just dying to get my hands into dirt, lol! Maybe I'll try ginger root next time ...
