| I have plenty of Selenicereus megalanthus (yellow skinned clear fleshed)cuttings for trade. I'm looking for both the red skinned species (one has the red flesh the other white)I want to gather different clones from throughout Australia.
If you have material and are not 100% sure on the species name I have a contact who will be conducting a screen test or fingerprint of species in the near future.
Please, no wild material as they tend to be very poor pollinators and a waste of time.
It would be appreciated if you can provide as much information as possible, such as where the material came from, flowering period, fruit discription, what you believe the species is and so on.

| Hello Mick1, I am interested in cuttings from Selenicereus megalanthus (yellow skinned clear fleshed). Are you willing to sell a few cuttings? Thank you Daniel |

| Mick1. Hi! I wonder if you have ever observed fruit basal rot (caused by the fungus Fusarium) in your Selenicereus plants. If so would you give a hand letting me know how to manage this problem? |

| Hi there, I recently returned from a holiday in Vietnam, and fell in love with dragon fruit. Does anyone know where you can buy dragon fruit in Melbourne? I've checked out Footscray Market, and various greengrocers, Asian supermarkets etc. Thanks very much, Steve Scicluna scicluna@smartchat.net.au |

| Hi Steve, I think you can get dragon fruit from the fruit store just outside the newsagent located in Melbourne Central (opposite State Library) along Swanston St. Otherwise try to check out the other fruit store at the corner of Elizabeth St. and Burke St. (opposite Angus & Robertson bookstore) Han |

| I'm not sure what colour mine is, has'nt flowered yet. I do know 1 fruit in the supermarket is $5.00 and they dont look very yum either. Are these hard to fruit? I thought they'd be easy seen as though there just a succulent that can be chopped up and re-planted! What do they taste like? |
RE: Pitaya/Dragon Fruit

| Okay I am chasing some cutting of any of the dragon fruit cacti I think they are called, plus any roots of the chinese water chestnut... Getting a new chinese daughter in law, and think this is something she may use and eat... thanks I live in perth area.. Happy to pay for postage etc.. |
