This one I grew in spring, it needs some support until it starts to branch out....

Amazing Moli - considering where the plant comes from! You do have green fingers.

Is that the red 'dragony' fruit I've seen in Tesco? How interesting! Is it a nice fruit? What is the seed like? Like a mango, or are there tons like a passion fruit?
Makes a good cactus though
Well done you!

I bought the fruit in Tesco

There are thousands of seeds in the actual flesh...I let it dry out, then planted the seeds, the spines are not sharp like a cactus though...

Thanks for posting those; interesting plant! Do you think it will bear fruit for you when it's mature?

Who knows DM, but I doubt it...

How would you eat the fruit normally? I am intrigued what you would do with it!

But its like a kiwi, so I suppose you eat it the same way....
