WATCH: How to Plant Dragon Fruit

This year’s biggest Livingseeds drop (so far!), are you ready?!!

Have you ever bought a dragon fruit at the grocer, tasted it and decided it was far too bland to justify the price? That fruit was not from a selected fruiting variety, and this is why farmers who have imported and grow the best, international cultivars guard them so jealously., and why we at Livingseeds have gone to the lengths we have to make only the very best cultivars available to our clients!

Yes, we are talking about the truly divine fruit behind the hype, the ones one almost never sees on the shelves in South Africa as they are snapped up by the international market, or used in value added products such as juices. Dragon fruit in a dream!

We are not kidding about the protectiveness that commercial farmers approach their selected dragon fruit cultivars, which is why we had to reach out to a collector and farmer in the Eastern Cape with the oldest and most complete dragon fruit collection in Africa to source a carefully curated selection of top commercial cultivars, conceived of a “perfect” collection. If you only grow these six types of dragon fruit, you have captured the very best in the crop for yourself and your family!

You see, its not easy to “improve” any fruit crop, and plant breeders work for decades to produce something special. Our newest introductions are all from the pioneering work of Paul Thomson, the late tropical fruit enthusiast of California Rare Fruit Growers, who created these cultivars from a peerless collection of the best dragon fruit genetics and an insight gained from decades of growing and observing these amazing plants.
