Where does dragon fruit come from?
The cactus plants that produce the delicious red dragon fruits are found in many countries: Thailand, Vietnam, Israel, Guatemala, Honduras and Colombia. It takes eighteen months for the cactus plant to start bearing fruit that can be harvested. Harvesting the fruit requires some skill. Growers cut away a piece of the branch to remove the fruit. In Vietnam, growers use artificial lighting to ensure production can continue all year round. A clever solution!
