Harrisia simpsonii | Simpsons Prickly Apple Cactus | Florida Native Endangered Species

Harrisia simpsonii, Also known as the Simpsons apple cactus, this particular species is critically imperiled in the wild due to habitat destruction, rising sea levels and poaching. It is known only to Miami-Dade, Monroe counties and several spots in the keys.

This spiny, columnar cactus grows very large night blooming white flowers in the spring which form an unusually large round fruit that turns red. Inside looks like a dragon fruit, with white flesh and many black seeds. Seedlings in 4” pots, shipped bare root. Responsibly sourced seed- not collected!

We ship all orders Mon-Wed excluding federal holidays. If temperatures near you are below 45℉ we highly recommend adding a heat pack to your order. If temperatures will be much lower than 20℉ please leave us a note with your order asking us to hold your order until a given date as heat packs will fail at temps much lower than 20℉.

If you’re local to Sarasota, FL you may select local pickup at checkout instead of shipping. Please leave a note with your order of when you would like to pick up your order.
