Aussie dragon fruit enthusiasts....
« on: May 04, 2018, 12:40:22 AM »
I would really love to track down the variety Desert King in Australia. Can't buy internationally as the import laws are too strict here and I'm just a backyard enthusiast. I'm just hoping there is someone out there (in Australia) willing to sell me a cutting of this particular variety as I have heard wonderful things about it.
Many thanks

Many thanks. I had heard there was 1 grower in Cairns with it not wanting to part with cuttings.  It was also imported to the US some time ago. www.facebook.com/JohnVenaProduce/posts/1009145965811863
Was hopeful someone may have eventually been able to locate some here
