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!
