this bit is a translation.............................In the months of May and June is carried out an activity that fills with color to the Square of the nine corners in Guadalajara, Jalisco. There they settle down variety 'positions' to display and sell food facts with pitaya fruit as well as the single. The pitaya is a fruit of the so-called cacti of vibrant colors and appearance of Espinosa, but thanks to the people who distribute you only given to the task of consent to your senses, you can also give you the luxury to see trucks with a horn shouting that sold in Amacueca pitayas, southern region of the state of Jalisco.
In the nine corners you can find the bread of pitaya, delicious and is unmistakable for its aroma and to cut a slice you see the seeds of this fruit. Sold the jam and also punch. But of course that solitas we can serve and enjoy its flavor.
So there are many in the family of Stenocereus ...................found mainly in Mexico...................they have been cultivated...........and cuttings (clones) shared for 1000's of years by the gardeners..................so apparently (feel free to correct any errors I make) there are many 1000's of unique cultivators.................following are the main families that these cultivators derive from
Stenocereus fricii Pitayo de Aguas
Stenocereus griseus Pitayo de Mayo
Stenocereus gummosus Pitaya Agria
Stenocereus queretaroensis Lemaireocereus queretaroensis , (Pitahaya de Queretaro) from Galician Cactus Santiago de Querétaro, QRO, Mexico
Stenocereus pruinosus Pitayo de Octubre
Note the months of fruiting indicated in the name Mayo to Octubre........providing a succession of ripe fruit
.............an interesting point is they are night pollinated by migrating bats................who also consume the ripe fruit on their return leg....................and so distributing the seeds (via air born poop) along their migration routes...................A lot of research is being done by the Mexican government to further develop and promote this wonderful fruit..................which has filled the market places for 1000's of years........................If you have any seed pm.....................please add any info or experience of this fruit you may have.......................
