Pitaya de Querétaro

[fruittreedan]

Hello! For a while I’ve been looking for a better tasting alternative to the Peruvian apple cactus. Of the many fruiting cacti species I’ve experimented with, only a single species has ever really flourished here, the Pitaya de Querétaro or Stenocereus queretaroensis. The plants I’ve grown are in 1 gallon containers.  1 for $10, 3, for $20. Local pickup in Hollywood. Thanks!

Would you be down to ship a few up to me?
totally understand if you only do local pickup.

What color are these?

I tried to get some shipped from mexico but ALL cacti are cites protected there including common ones and non natives.

@Jaboticaba45 - Sure! I’ll need a few days though to get some heat packs.
@Pandan - That's awesome they’re well-protected! As far as the color of the fruit it came from, I’m sorry, but I’m not certain. These particular plants came to me from Southern Arizona as small seedlings. I’ve grown a number of Stenocereus species (gummosus, pruinosus, griseus) though and can confirm this is the Pitaya de Querétaro.

My man Dan absolutely killing it with these beautiful cacti!
Dual purpose as a medieval morningstar is also very clutch lol

I’ve been looking for this cacti for a long time. Really looking forward to my order arriving.

So desperate I turned to Etsy, and they just don’t quite look the same. Can anyone confirm?

[fruittreedan]

@FloridaManDan - The kind words are much appreciated!
@K-Rimes - That looks real to me.

Thank you Dan! Those are great looking cacti! Excited to watch em grow. Really glad I made the purchase.

Dan rocks! Got my super healthy and way larger than expected fruity cacti yesterday. Very happy, thank you.

[K-Rimes]

Dan is the MAN! Awesome box of cacti arrived here well packed, and much bigger than expected. Can't wait to get these planted out and growing here.
