This beautiful looking specimen is the dragonfruit. Other names include pitaya, nanettika, and strawberry pear, and it's the national fruit of what country?

The dragonfruit is actually not native to Vietnam, and is in fact the fruit of a cactus that grows in arid areas like Mexico. Once brought to Vietnam by French settlers, the people there took to it and made it their national fruit. The Vietnamese call it “thanh long".
