    My house has them growing in the front yard, I wasn't sure when to pick then. Some people say their aren't that great but I just ate one fresh and it's almost identical to the taste of Kiwi but more sweeter and less tangy.

      I can and would love to, but not sure I can get to it in time for your use this season. I love figs...SO MUCH!! We had a tree in our backyard in CA when I was growing up and they were just delightful. So good right off the tree and of course they are great as a dried fruit.

    Also, just want to say...thank you, Mr. Produce Guy, for all your hard work, time and efforts in teaching us all about the various produce out there. I've watched your video after video after video this morning- all interesting! Ha, yes, a lot of unregretable time spent here but I must go feed my hubby breakfast now. I'm new...I've subscribed too! Just thought a big THANKS was in order seeing all I've learned from you already. Btw, hubby & I are into juicing (watched Joe Cross's 'Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead' documentary; hubby's a diabetic; juicing has helped decrease his insulin shots- Amazing!) so the knowledge I've gained from you WILL GO A LONG WAYS! So thanks very much, Mr. Produce Guy!!😉

      Ah a Texan, They should sell DRAGON Fruit in most of the Central Texas stores. I am a native and recently moved to philly. I have my mother ship me some along with big red which is scarce here in Philly. So if your near the Baylor or Temple Texas HEB they should have them. Not sure about Harker Heights or Killeen stores. Good luck on your searches.

      That would be a challenge at the moment as I don't have a source for a fresh one. Honesty, I have never worked with them and in fact saw them fresh on our trip to the Philippines in March but never got the courage up to try one. Funny thing, if you check out the photo section on the Facebook page, you can see a sign on the door of our hotel room that said "no pets or durian fruit allowed in the room." So, that was fun. I will see what I can do.

They sound a lot like the prickly pears that grow wild all around me. Maybe I should just try to grow my own dragon fruit.
