And Nursery in South Africa. We supply large quantities of Plant material to new Commercial Dragon Fruit Farms. And some Home Gardeners that want to grow this fast growing crop at Home in Pots or in Soil in the back yard and even in the veggie garden.

The Dragon Fruit Plant is GREEN all Year Around, and Grow very fast.

Now like many fruit trees you have to wait years and year for fruit…,

BUT NOT WITH THE Dragon Fruit THEY FRUIT within 6 months from planting.

Are dragon Fruit Easy to grow: Yes

They are water wise: Yes

What is the Difference between the normal commercial verities and the USA Florida Varieties?

The Normal: This is the Varieties that we are currently buying in the shops.

The USA Florida: These Fruits have been cross-pollinated to create a different taste and the fruit look different just a little bit, these varieties are extremely rare. That is the reason they are so expensive

And those that we do not cultivate yet, we import from USA. And with the import costs and permits and plant material it is quite expensive.
