More recently, however, this species was assigned to the genera Echinopsis and Trichocereus was dropped as a genus, hence the correct name is Echinopsis pachanoi. That does not mean that the old name is wrong, because there is a wealth of information to be gleaned from texts and web sites using the original name. 2 of 16 GARDEN VIEWS JANUARY & FEBRUARY 2017 What they share is the common name San Pedro, along with the following names. Andachuma Aguacolla Giganton Huachuma The history and mythology of San Pedro date back over 3,000 years.

  • A Review of Hylocereus Production in the United States
    ♦ A Review of Hylocereus Production in the United States Sven Merten Tropi-Cal P.O. Box 2824 Fallbrook, CA 92088, U.S.A. [email protected] INTRODUCTION Pitaya, pitahaya or dragon fruit, grow on a veining epiphytic cactus (Hylocereus sp.) native to the tropical forest regions of Mexico and Central and South America (Mizrahi et al., 1997). The plants grow up tree trunks and are anchored by aerial roots. The fruits have red or pink thornless skins, while the juicy flesh can range from white to magenta. The skin is covered with bracts or "scales", hence the name dragon fruit. The seeds are small and are consumed with the fruit. The fruit can weigh up to 900 grams, but the average weight is between 350 and 450 grams. The weight depends on pollination as well as the variety selection. When ripe, the dragon fruit are most often consumed fresh. In some parts of South America, the pulp is used in drinks. Dragon fruit have been cultivated in Vietnam for over 100 years and much longer in their native locations. Only recently have they received attention from growers in other parts of the world, including Israel, Australia, and, most recently, the United States (U.S.). They are currently being grown commercially in Nicaragua, Columbia, Vietnam, and Israel, with the Australian and U.S. industries just beginning. Production in the United States is in its infancy, but recent newspaper (Karp, 2002; Smith, 2002) and magazine articles (Seabrook, 2002; Valdivia, 2000) have generated a good deal of consumer interest, especially by chefs, high-end restaurants, and hotels.
