The plant of the month: pitahayas
-
pink pitahaya -
yellow pitahaya
Pitahayas are intriguing new exotic fruits. Although they originate in America, the pink pitahaya now comes from Asia, particularly Vietnam. They habe been quite unknown to international markets up to 1990, and there was a lot of confusion about their scientific names. Many species with distinct colors are good candidates for cultivation.
Enjoy them !
