Ever eaten the fruit of a cactus? My friend's family is in Fujian, and many cacti in the village have borne fruit
There are many kinds of cacti, usually we only have so many kinds of contact, and even some friends have only seen five or six kinds, in the cactus family, cacti and cactus balls have countless varieties, we are in the market, what we see in the flower greenhouse is only the tip of the iceberg, especially in the northern region, cactus balls and cacti are even rarer.
To say where the cactus, cactus balls the most kinds, of course, is the south of our country, such as Zhangzhou, cactus balls, cactus the main production area of the most abundant species, a variety of cactus balls, cacti have everything, for people who like to raise succulents, Zhangzhou is simply a succulent kingdom, the variety is very complete.
In the cactus family, some varieties of cactus, in fact, it can bear fruit, most people have not seen, let alone eaten, like dragon fruit, it is also a plant in the cactus family, but not a cactus, dragon fruit after years of maintenance, it can also bear fruit, cactus and dragon fruit growth pattern is the same, cactus fruit is smaller.
Speaking of cactus fruit, and dragon fruit fruit is basically similar, the size is somewhat different, after ripening are red, dragon fruit is tasteless, cactus fruit to eat has a faint sweetness, taste better, nutrition is more abundant, eat ten dragon fruit, it is better to eat a cactus fruit.
I have a friend, his family is in Fujian, in Xiamen City, Fujian, his village has grown a lot of wild cactus trees, inadvertently talked about cacti, at the beginning he told me, when the cactus grows into a tree, I still do not believe, as a northerner has ever seen the largest cactus, it will grow to 30 cm high, to say that the cactus grows into a tree, it is really a little strange.
It wasn't until he came home for the holidays and took a picture of me that I really believed that the original cactus could really grow into a big tree, a towering tree three or four meters high, even higher than the house, as a person who likes to raise succulents, it was really surprising to see such a big cactus, and even wanted to belong to it, my friend said that the cacti in its village are everywhere, and every summer, the cactus will bear fruit.
It turns out that cacti can really bear fruit, and can also be eaten, friends take a holiday back to the company, bring me a lot, fresh cactus fruit, and still wild, the first time to eat up, it is really a very beautiful taste, in Fujian local, cactus is also a major local industry, to the ripening period of the fruit, the fruit will be picked after selling online, the fruit of the cactus is not very cheap.
Vision decided to see, if it were not for my friend saying that the cactus grew into a tree, I would not believe it, and what was even more strange was that the cactus reached a certain stage, it could still grow fruit, and I personally ate it.
