It is more popular in east asia rather than our culture. Not sure if its name in Urdu exists at all. Regardless, I did the mistake of eating it and it is one of the most non palatable fruits despite it's beautiful appearance. The best way to desccribe it = tasteless jelly.fa113nang311 wrote:whats dragonfruit called in urdu as its a cactus fruit and can be grown here.....
Try prickly pear (edible cactus fruit) instead which is common in Pakistan

Well I have tasted the fruit and found it pleasant it's like mildly sweet melon with crunchy seeds.

It was given to me by Waqas Saeed of this forum, as far as i remember he grew it from seeds... i can give a cutting to both of you... its a climber and needs strong rough support to stick and climb..
