avocado innovation the role o the farmer/scientist
Did the rebar burn the stems of dragonfruit?
@@edwardonliner4503 surprizingly very little.
Do you do tours or walks for other dragon fruit growers in SD? Thanks
@@IIrandhandleII Hello, not really... 1) We are mostly over worked... especially now in harvest season and 2) in the past it has always escalated to visitors wanting more and more and we simply never have time as this is our livlihood... I always want to ask them how they woukd feel if i called them at their job and asked for a visit and then items from their job... Ha. Ag is dying in Cal. And it is because finances are tough
Instant sub
Is this the rainbow permaculture farm?
@@IIrandhandleII no but we support organic and regenerative😃
@graymartin2275 is your dragon fruit farm still producing? I'm over in del Mar with a tiny little backyard dragon fruit project and looking for ideas just like your trellis. I feel like the current pot trellis takes a lot of space im looking to implement something more like a winery trellis like yours
@@IIrandhandleII yep... went to ecuador and their commercial trellis look similar to mine but they use concrete posts...
@graymartin2275 do you know if there are any plans available online? I've never done a trellis before. I've looked around on RUclips but most of them are in hindi. Your farm is super impressive.
@@graymartin2275 I think I will just go with the wine trellis and see what results I get. Thanks for all the info.

How long do you leave the praise on the plant after pollination?
@@c17360 it changes but 42 days...typically
Well done, watching from Kenya. Congratulations, trying to do Dragon farming , Am encouraged. Hard work pays. Thanks
Yes
Damn it , all this time the key in the selection of a scion is looking for the appearance of a bud!..... thank u very much sir
Your camera work here s very poor,not so professional like the rest of your iconic pieces of films?.
Not "Amerrican Grafitti",Mr. Lucas- haha?.
Gray you're the greatest. Sound effects when you test the strength of the grafts!
Long-time chain saw user. Perfection! I turn 69 this summer. You're only as old as you aren't good any more!
Gray gets his saw at the Dollar Store and shows us how to rely on knowledge, not fancy tools!
I have an old Fuerte, like 60 feet tall, taken down and resprouted like crazy. Love the flavor but it's not a good producer. Now I know what to do. I've been spraying my GEM with a low concentration of urea - about a teaspoon in a two quart sprayer bottle - on the new flush. The GEM loves it, with good vegetative growth (with prolonged flushing), good fruiting, and what looks to be good fruit retention. This is my "top down" approach to fertilization and I know the urea gets in due to experiments on the Fuerte, which showed leaf distortion and leaf toughening. Similar urea spraying on apples had bizarre and negative effects. I'm babying a Pinkerton and a Lamb in fabric pots over the summer for planting in the fall. Thanks for your service!
Hey Gray, I've been spraying flush with a teaspoon of urea in a two quart spray bottle. I spray all new growth every evening. I've been doing it on a Hass, a Fuerte that came back from being stumped, and a GEM. They all love it and are continuing flush. I did a stronger formulation on the Fuerte and got distorted, super thick leaves with yellow veins but they lived and the tree has flourished. But urea is toxic to most plants. Apple trees got weird. This year June 2024 getting good fruit hang on the GEM. Lots of extra flushing. My theory: Urea on the flush sends a message to the tree. "We've got nitrogen. Use N coming in from the roots elsewhere as needed. Fruits are getting sugar from local sugar production." No tree has died from spraying with diluted urea.
You have a beautiful farm, i am learning a lot . Thank you
Always learning everytime I watch your show, thank you
Flower rapist!
Here in the Philippines they are selling it for 150 a kilo
Are those fiberglass rods?
Some are. Ive moved to metal rods valled sucker rods but need to buy a truckload for affordability
@@graymartin2275 I use fiberglass rods too, so far so good
Impressive farm. Interesting to see how you grow your plants. Sad to see the Citrus industry fading away. Here in Florida it is Citrus greening that is causing so many problems but yet, water is another biggie affecting so many farmers. Not easy for farmers either way. Hope you had a bountiful harvest.
What is the tar you put down? A rooting hormone? Also what are you wrapping the top of the scion you grafted onto the bigger tree with… looks like paper or something lol but I have a 20 year old Avocado that’s never flowered even… never given fruits and I really want to make it a good tree. HELP!
Good morning Sir. I have been trying yo get in contact with you. how can I contact you.
Good morning Sir. I have been trying yo get in contact with you.
Do you use this in the spring ? Or is this a year round thing? Do you change anything when its time to bloom? Like higher in p/k ratio?
Is that fiber glass rods on top of your trellis?
You’re a genius
You've heard of Manic Depressive... i'm similar: Genius Bonehead!
@@graymartin2275 haha idk if that’s a joke
Hi. Domovan Vest Method?
Thanks for the demonstration.
Is this the farm at the end of Mesa Verde in VC? We live down the road and are also planting out dragon fruit. Would love to meet up
Will this variety flower again? I've seen clips of farmers cutting flowers when projected demand is low to delay fruit set
All the best form VITA PURE FARMS
Hope you have bumper crops this season 🙏
Farmer stays positive! 👍
Hi Gray! I can’t wait to buy some of your fruit in stores! Will Gelson’s still have them this year? Sad to hear your flowers didn’t set in the rain.
Yes i believe Gelsons. Sold some to major market today. Not enough yet to ship to L.A.
Wanted to say thank you for your informative videos and if I haven't said it before you're doing the right thing setting a good example for everyone don't stop keep charging Full Speed Ahead my motto and all this may not apply to you surfing commercial fishing fishing and farming is the way you're definitely part of Team SoCal
Are they about 4 feet apart?
Thanks for sharing your techniques.
Hello!your American beauty is yellow you need to measure the ph in your soil..and give it fertilizer to higher up your ph
How tall are your trellises Gray
On average 5.5 feet
I want to come buy some fruit from you gray when ready …they look beautiful
Could you please do a video showing how to make a simple structure for dragonfruit in a home backyard? I am using a tomato cage now but it doesn’t hold well. Thanks!
Which size container do you have used for a commercial dragon Fruits farm?
2 gallon with bottom removed.
Hey Sir i would like to stop by and check out your harvest where exactly in Temecula are you located?
Hey Tony. Dont really do tours... busy all the time, thanks for your interest.
I was going to mention something regarding your maturity and dates and all that when avocados are grown at the coast comparatively to inland there is a definite time difference on maturity if you're growing in Cambria versus North County there's definitely a difference just thought I would mention that but what do I know anyways keep up the good work
I'm pleasantly surprised I was involved in avocados before NAFTA and I learned quite a bit I meant that chap Ruben from Israel when he was doing his little field classes many years ago regarding the Reed avocados he was getting some wild number per acre I like your videos they're Direct and to the point informative there's not a lot of Young Blood in the agriculture business and certain areas way2go helping people out it's amazing how everybody to share information now from the doctor's office to right here on RUclips would be nice to have the stuff back in the 70s have a good one buddy
Great input! Thank you....
Do you think it's preferable to remove the parafilm after few weeks on grafts that doesn't make it ?
When it gets cold like it has been parafilm seems to get hard and can actually restrict buds tryingvto push through. Just watch for this. The parafilm does preserve the scion, but if restrictive should be opened.
@@graymartin2275 Thank you for the answer
Thank you for the dragon fruit videos 😮
Does your dragon fruit all go to the asian market overseas?
No. We grow orGanic and sell to specialty markets mostly in CA
