Thank you so much for your videos. Thanks to Richard and you I got a dragonfruit addiction. For me in Austria it is sometimes hard and very expensive to get this plants but I try my best to keep my 15 dragons happy and overwinter them in my house because our winter in zone 8a is waiting to kill them

So thrilling to have some of the varieties you mentioned - my sugar dragon and condor are both flowering for the first time - hoping they set fruit (I’m hand pollinating with mixed pollens) and I get to try both of those fruits for the first time! So thankful you’re making content like this for those of us newer dragonfruit growers!

Do you have any videos detailing irrigation specifically. Like timers hose sizes? adaptors? Very much appreciated.

Glad to hear your rave review of Ax. Out of the 20 or so varieties I've been growing Ax is the only one that hasn't given me fruit yet but it's looking promising for this year. I remember thinking of the flowers were even better looking than Bruni, KVA and Connie Mayor but I forgot what it tastes like. Something to look forward to this year!

Ax is fast growing but slow to fruit

Paul Really a great video as so many are not sure where to start. My choices are slightly different however you named a great group of 5. Hard to not squeeze darkstar, country roads, or depending on your taste buds a Asunta 3-5 in the mix. Too many choices

I live in Oregon, zone 8b, so will need to keep my plants in a greenhouse. Is it possible to get them to fruit while keeping the plant smaller?

@elikho327 10 ай бұрын

Another great video Paul, keep up the good work. Do you still have cuttings of Donovan's cotton Candy available, am also considering K2 the wrong Maria Rosa, look like it taste better than the right Maria Rosa in your presentation .

No cotton candy at this time, but Maria Fucsia is a great fruit

Rad buddy! What are your thoughts on foliar feeding dragons? I’ve started my dragon fruits this past November and have sprayed them twice the past 3 weeks.

@RAREDRAGONFRUIT Жыл бұрын

Yes, it's great and the plants love it. We use seaweed and have also used meal worm frass.

@edgarvo4012 8 ай бұрын

Thanks Paul!!! Your videos are great! I have a question. I thought I heard that we need to prune or trim branches when those just showed up. I don't see that happened on this video. So what is your thought or recommendation about taking off some of these newly branches? Thank you Paul!

@RAREDRAGONFRUIT 7 ай бұрын

It depends on the time of year, trellis set up, size of plant, and more. Channel the growth up and over something and keep low branches pruned off it some universal advice.

@jmars8932 Жыл бұрын

Hi Paul. Love the videos you put out for us. Thanks! But speaking of "American Beauty", I just got my first flowers from this plant a week ago, but it seems not to have any pollen on/from the thistles on the four flowers that just bloomed. Is it normal or am I doing something wrong? I went as far as to pluck some of the thistles and rubbed them between my fingers.

@RAREDRAGONFRUIT Жыл бұрын

Sometimes the first flowers have no pollen, especially if it's cold in my experience. Also, bees will steal the pollen at dawn. I collect my pollen at night or at dusk.

@@RAREDRAGONFRUIT Thank you! That helps out a lot! I actually started to grow dragon fruit for my daughter, she loves them, but I fell in love with growing them! Your channel was the first one I seeked help with in doing that! Thanks again!

You forgot to mention: ☝️(Vietnamese white) ☝️ due to the fact that it is a very strong white flesh variety; which (tolerates hot and cold weather) 🌡️🔥 ❄️🥶 ; which considered to be the (best choice to be used as a rootstock for other varieties to be grafted at) because of its strong roots stems branches 💪; which has strong pollen that you may you use to pollinate other self sterile varieties.

You are right about it being a good first and a great rootstalk. Not the best tasting. We did recommend Bruni (White flesh ) for flower quality and the coconut flavor. Thanks for the comment

I bought one Vietnam white from Home Depot. Since then, I somehow managed to buy Condor, American Beauty, Laverne Red, Viet WHITE, Haleys Comet, Asunta 3, Dark Star.... I think thats all of them... Second year of growth and no buds still...

In videos they say it takes 8-12 months for abloom but it usually takes 1 year of growth 1 of maturing then blooms

what is advantage of plating into pots ?

@RAREDRAGONFRUIT 6 ай бұрын

For us, we have pocket gophers. They would eat the roots if the plant was in the ground. You can also grow them well in ground if your soil is well draining.

Seeking to use the fruit myself and use both stems and fruit as feed stock for making plant food alongside many other plants I use for the same purpose. Being a cactus, the banches, alongside aloe Vera leaves and rain water will make a nutritious substitute for chlorinated tap water in my blends with extract of potato, carrot, mango, fish, etc in JADAM Liquid Fertiliser brews.
