Pereskia

Posted by rivermint Nth VIC Aust (My Page) on

I am seeking more information and advice on where to obtain a climbing cactus I believe is a pereskia and commonly known as 'lemon vine'. I have only read about this plant but it is described as semi-deciduous, with similar flowers to a single lemon rose. It also looks like a thorny rose in winter when it loses its 'leaves'. It also has, according to memory (I wish I'd kept the article, I only made notes of it in my 'wish book') edible fruits that have a jelly like inside with a sharp lemon taste. Does this sound familiar to anyone and can you help me find one? With thanks, Jus.

Hi there, did you manage to find the Pereskia you were looking for?

I'm also interested in looking for Pereskia sacharosa and was wondering where I could get it in Victoria or other states? Could anyone help?

Thanks!
