The White Pitaya, also known as Dragon Fruit, is one of the most beautiful and tasty fruits in the world, still little known in the West, if you are lucky enough to find it in your hands it will bewitch you. The Pitaya plant itself is magical: it is a shrub belonging to the Cactus family, with large and beautiful white flowers. After the flowers open for just one night, they will lose the petals and begin the natural process that will lead to the fruit in a month. This will happen after 2 or 3 years from the time of sowing as the growth is slow, so it will take a lot of patience.

Many have tried to describe the flavor of this magical fruit, some say it mixes Kiwi, those with Strawberry, those with Pear, those with Passion Fruit, I would say that each of the 3 varieties has a different and very different flavor subjective and that simply does not add up to anything I had eaten before, for sure there is a fruit rich in nutrients: mineral salts, free radicals, antioxidants, with very few calories and which helps to eliminate excess fat.

There are 3 Variants: the White one, the Purple Pitaya and the Yellow Pitaya, the one on this page is the best known, namely White Pitaya.

A sachet contains 20 Seeds that will ensure you a great success.

White Pitaya Dragon Fruit - Hylocereus Undatus

The Purple Pitahaya, also called Red Pitahaya or Dragon Fruit, is one of the most beautiful and tasty fruits in the world, with bright purple flesh, still little known in the West, if you are lucky enough to find it in your hands it will bewitch you. The Pitaya plant itself is magical: it is a shrub belonging to the Cactus family, with large and beautiful white flowers. After the flowers open for just one night, they will lose the petals and begin the natural process that will lead to the fruit in a month. This will happen after 2 or 3 years from the time of sowing as the growth is slow, so it will take a lot of patience.

Yellow Pitahaya Dragon Fruit - Hylocereus Megalanthus

In this ad I am selling a 10 - 15 cm (about 5 - 8 inches) White Pitahaya Cutting already with the roots, ready to be planted in a pot. Put some soil for cacti or citrus fruits in the pot, bury half of the cutting and put it in a place in half sun or, if it is very hot, totally in the shade, until it starts to give back. The plant should be kept indoors, near a window, when night temperatures approach 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit), we can generally say that it is kept outside in the garden or on the terrace from the end of April to November and indoors from the end of November to April. When the following spring begins to have many fruits, consider putting it in a jar of at least 20 liters, it will come to make the famous fruit in a couple of years, if you are very good already from the following summer.

None of these seeds are GMOs.

The seeds were produced during the last summer in Pistoia, so they are very fresh seeds and totally made in Italy, you can sow them within 2 years of receipt and if you keep them in the fridge they will remain viable for at least 10 years.

If you need information on Germination and Cultivation, here is the Watermelon and Melon Cultivation Guide.

It has a slightly smaller size than our Watermelons and a flavor that oscillates between mango and pineapple, I personally find it delicious and it is my favorite.

- 20 Seeds of Sugar Baby Watermelon (Citrullus Lanatus): it is a curious Watermelon with a smooth dark green skin, without streaks, small in size just over a bowling ball, has the characteristic of being considered the sweetest Watermelon of the world! It is very refreshing and thirst-quenching.

Fruits of about 2 kg, ripened chamois skin with strong mesh. It is widely grown in Morocco.

- 20 Seeds of Canarian Yellow Melon (Cucumis Melo): it is a variety native to Spain, where it is consumed a lot during the summer. It produces oval fruits with smooth yellow skin, weighing 1 - 1.5 kg with sweet and juicy white pulp.

- 20 Seeds of Green Melon Piel de Sapo (Cucumis Melo): it is considered the best melon in the world, tasty, sweet and juicy like no other! It is native to Spain but widely cultivated in Brazil. This Melon features a mottled and smooth green skin like a toad for that it is called "Melon piel de sapo" which literally means "Melon skin of toad" and when it is ripe it gets cut which is a beauty, try it.
