It is native to Mexico, but is also successfully grown in some Southeast Asian countries.
In Spain it has been experiencing its cultivation for some years in Malaga and the Canary Islands. Of white meat and sweet taste, it contains little sugar.

As a curiosity, the pitaya plant is pollinated by bats, as its flowers open only during the night. What an exotic thing!
