Hi, my name is Meredith and I have the Dragon Fruit Cactus in front of me.
It is a cactus but it's unique because it is a climbing cactus so it's actually a vine and it's where those tasty bright pink fruits with the white center with all the little black seeds come from.
So, you can actually grow your own in your yard. They are warm climate but if you live in a colder climate you can do that, as well, just grow them in a container and make sure to support them. They are pretty easy to grow.
They like full sun and even moisture especially in the fruiting season, so you can have plenty of dragon fruits at home.
