    I ve been not tipping and getting good results I wait till tall enough then slight twist and bend over & it starts sprouting new growth at the bend. I will post a update later tonight n post a link so you can see my pots and the difference between topping. You save the idle time waiting 2/3wks for the new growth to start

    Yo my man you need to remover the sugar dragons and put then in there own pot only sugar dragon Arizona purple or voodoo child should be in a pot together maybe just sugar dragon alone it grows less vigorous then the other variety’s it’s one of the slowest growing believe it or not it’s genetics focus on one branch at a time as to where other ones will be trying to grow multiples arms at a time your need to repot them while there still small my man trust me don’t put them I that pot move them before they reach the top and try and put 2 or 4 sugar dragons all in one pot do not mix that variety I’ve had a headache because of that and now it’s too huge to pull out but behind my other variety’s

      @@danielsiapin hmm interesting, this would prevent moisture from damaging the 4x4 (if we screwed 2 2x4’s together). I like the top 2x4’s as wood because I would like to reduce microplastics in my soil as much as possible. So I guess that’s the trade off, microplastics vs wood vs brick and brackets. We already have plastic containers, so I guess I’m getting my daily plastic dosage from there anyway…

    The HD's are probably the red-fleshed,s self-sterile Physical Graffiti, but without a positive ID you can only call them NoID. Physical Graffiti is delicious with large fruit, and quite hardy in this climate. Let me know if you'd like any other varieties - I have lots of cuttings from many varieties now.

    Give your top branches a chance to continue growing up, they will bend over by themselves and will branch out new branches. on your new branches, If you let them grow over 13 inches or more you can twist and bend at the base to train them the way you want them to grow on your trellis. Good luck.

    I also get 36” long cuttings from Alik at Shulman Dragon fruit that way once they root I can transplant into my trellis pots and I also bought 2 led fixtures to keep mine growing all winter. My cuttings I bought 25 -3gal clear pots and filled them with cuttings and trying to get them to 36” before moving into bigger pots. I use tubtrugs biggest pot it 20gallon and use the deck concrete post footing which eats up a lot of root room 🤔I may upgrade to 40g pots going forward

    Take all lower growth off, esp that huge sucker it’s sapping all the energy at the bottom, & slowing the top unless your growing for cuttings ? Once I see it’s not a bud it comes off, I’m in it for fruit, once mine top the trellis I grow out 3to 4 branches then I let it go wild and branch off the ones falling down, mine get about 12-20” then slow and fatten up and that usually signals top sprout nodes at the horizontal parts of my branch and I let them go up and then pull them over. Glad you over come the slug, they r looking much better 😊

    Looks like Ants. I spray mist my plants with Spectracide Bug Stop from Home D. Works really well. Just a light mist on the plants prevents bugs and ants from getting on them. You can spray the potting soil as well. Read or research the product for your own to see if you want to use it first.

      Hey @TimHoSD, I want this trellis to last >10 years. I didn’t want any wood to be in the water + dirt because over those 10 years the wood will break down. So I tired to find a solution where wood did not touch wet soil.

    @paulclifford6941 10 месяцев назад

    Great video! All great varieties. I've gotten a lot of fruit from all but Palora, which is still too young yet. But even the self-fertile varieties can have a hard time setting fruit, as their pollen viability seems to depend on vine age, nutrition, blossoming time, time in the season, and temperature and humidity. Maybe in a more consistently warm climate they'd do better. I've noticed that there is a lot of conflicting information on the web as to which varieties are really self-fertile and self-pollinating or not, and that seems consistent with my observations that different growing conditions affect pollen viability. So, even for the self-fertile varieties I've had better success if I hand pollinate using pollen from a reliable source, like an undatus variety (Vietnam White) or Sugar Dragon if possible.

    • @DragonFruitDude
      @DragonFruitDude 10 месяцев назад

      Thanks for all the info! I too heard that even if a variety is called Self-Fertile, it is better to hand pollinate because the fruits end up being bigger. I hadn't thought about which pollens would be a "reliable source", but once I start getting flowers I'll have to read up on that.

  • @paulclifford6941
    @paulclifford6941 10 месяцев назад

    The weeds in your back yard make it look like your soil type is primarily an alluvial clay; are you in the San Francisco Bay area? I am, and i've been successfully growning a lot of varieties.

    • @DragonFruitDude
      @DragonFruitDude 10 месяцев назад

      This is funny on so many levels. 1) People are noticing the weeds in the backyard. 2) You know what type of soil we have based on the weeds. 3) You know what areas of the country have these types of soil. E-mail me at dragonfruitdude1@gmail.com and we can figure out how if we're close or not.

    Great topic to bring attention to. When I was a beginner to dragon fruit, I was unfortunately fooled by the same problem. I've since learned that the plants on the left are indeed polyrhizus, while the plants that I ended up buying on the right are guatemalensis hybrids: either American Beauty or Physical Grafitti. PG is better than any polyrhizus plant I think, but it was still an unfortunate experience that should be corrected by the big home improvement stores.

      @DragonFruitDude 10 месяцев назад

      Great info! Based on your input all of my dragon fruits I've bought from Home Depot / been gifted are the hybrids from Guatemala. I bought an official American Beauty, so hopefully the home depot ones turn out closer to Physical Grafitti so I can have more variety.
