bournemouth Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 According to an article in the Guad. Reporter this week by Dale Palfrey, the price in Chapala is 3 for 20 pesos. They seem to be harvested wild and the season is very short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 If you are in Guadalajara, the crop is so bountiful for the brief period that you can buy many more for your money. But they do bad very quickly. We should see them being sold on various street corners in Ajijic, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dichosalocura Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 CNN.COM has an interesting article on the pitayas from Techaluta. I would post the link but my old ipod is not very user friendly any more. It prefers to always fight with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dichosalocura Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Thanks Angus, and yeah I noticed the picture of the pitahaya instead of the pitaya right away. All they do is look for pictures on google to put in their articles, why couldn't they have just found a pitaya picture? We purchased a ice cream maker the other day on Amazon and made our first pitaya ice cream, it was delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy mallinee Posted May 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Thanks for the input from all of you.. .. Read the attachments sent. Apparently a very short season and perhaps not so much production there in Tachaluta. And from a few videos found on UTUBE for the festival in Tachaluta, the majority of plants seem to be Pitaya of the tree-like form. I'm familar with the Pitahaya from Nicaragua where there is a fairly large production of it, and this type there is the Pitahaya, vine like type, which produce around 20 fruit per planting, if planted in the traditional manner.
