I am attempting to identify a particular strain of cactus found in Central America. It is grown in arbors similar to grapes, bears fist-sized fruit and is used in juices.
I have never seen its name in print, however; it is called "pithya" as best as I can transcribe.
Is anyone familiar with this variety and can someone offer any more information?
In advance, I thanks you, Mike
Does teh name "Pithya" ring a bell?

pitayas
Hi Mike:
I Think that you are in a big trouble. In Mexico we have more than 20 species of plants with a fruit that people call pitayas:
All are cacti
All the frut are round-ovlated (like the ones from Opuntia)
All the fruits are edible
In each region, the pitaya (fruit) come fron a diferent species.
