Hey All,
Recently while biking around I found a very mature Cereus spp. that was holding some fruit on it on public land- Any help IDing would be nice
Fruit looks orange red- leading me to believe it could be validus? I also think peruvianus has larger fruits that are more red
Overall a pretty underwhelming fruit but heres the breakdown-
Flavor - surprisingly floral and just a bit sweet, I ended up eating quite a bit of it
Pros - Fruits and flowers in December, need little care/irrigation, Pretty imho
Cons- Mucilaginous, inferior to dragonfruit in terms of flavor which is already borderline in my book, can get quite large
