hell yeah.. dragonfruit are amazing.. been a long time though since I've eaten them...
😔
@Mother Ovum Working on that
Your camera is shakey.. it makes dizzy& nauseous watching.. especially from 15:40 -.. get a professional or tripod. Just a suggestion.

@@gabym9830 because he is a simp
@@leothedog979 He didn't hurt anyone by openly expressing his appreciation in a totally decent way, did he now? Here is a better question: Why are you guys such pricks?
His garden is such a dream. I want to eventually have a garden where it feels like I’m walking through a grocery story, picking things up without paying for it whenever I feel like
He pays with a lot of work, (planting, grafting, research) and money (genetics, growing materials).
He even hand pollinates. But its totally worth it! You cannot find quality like that even at most high end specialty health food stores.
@@Phantastischphil not true... he built his own stuff with scrap. Look at his trellises...
@@krissifaith6709hat ain’t scrap wood those are 2x4 and 4x4 posts
Oh I love the messy tropical food forests and knowing I don’t use chemicals in my yard makes it so dreamy…he’s really got a lot of time and sweat equity in his garden.,I bet when they bloom it’s magical❤️✌️
"You see something and you just have to have it!"
This is the tagline for my plant addiction.
Yep, me too and every other plant lover too I bet! It's like falling in love, but with a plant it is as if as soon as you buy it the love is requited. I've had far more success with plants than with women!
Same bro, same.
@@jupitersailing LOL same

I used to never be like that, the other day I was at a plant store and saw a ginseng plant, it just said "pssttt" and called me over. Did not plan to spend $40 for one little plant but that's the way it goes now.
@@gardenofadam8706 Damn 40 bucks for a ginseng? Hope you like it tho!! I'm experiencing this exact feeling with a succulent I found online rn and I'm trying to resist 😂
I used to not be fussed with dragonfruit because, as you mentioned, it tastes like nothing. I thought it was just a novelty thing. Until my mum started growing her own. I never knew they could be so juicy and sweet! So amazing.
Yellow dragon fruit are very sweet and delicious. They are not everywhere, but you can find them in specialty/Asian food stores
Here's a solution for flavor. Cut some Dragon fruit and dip some honey, or brown sugar or maple syrup for enhanced taste😮
Purple pulp ones in Central America have more flavor.
@@rubioalvin please delete that comment my friend 😫😫😫
Imagine meeting this dude at work or at a party and he proceeds to school you about dragon fruit. People are so interesting. I want dragon fruit now.
My local grocery store gets imports of the white fleshed variation, I grabbed a few seeds while I was eating and they've begun to germinate!
I like how exited he sounds to share his knowledge of these fruits with people
Real quick spelling lesson, its exCited not exited there’s a c
But most ppl make that mistake

I didn’t notice the spelling error until it was pointed out. My brain filled in the C
I can't believe nobody asked about the Ecuador Palora special properties... So spill dudes... Thanks for the great dragon tour, love it!
It's a laxative
It's worth it though lol best tasting type I think
You're dead right about them tasting different when grown at home. I got my first fruit today and I was shocked by how sweet it was because all the ones I had tasted were bland. I was just growing them because I liked the texture.
I’m on minute 16 into this video, and I caught myself just smiling like a goof. These are so cool, didn’t know they grew on a cactus-like plant, and these guys are totally in love with these plants! I’m feeling their joy checking out these dragon fruit plants!
dragon fruit is actually a cactus
@@ma.elenacagantas258 that's why he said cactus *like*
Me too
They are tropical cactus! I didnt know either but now i have 3 pots with dragon fruit and 2 cuttings rooting lol
@@Bleepbleepblorbus cactus like implying that it is not a cactus but similar, but it *is* a cactus, although it isnt like the desert cactus op is referring to, its a tropical variety of cactus :)
Sending love from the Philippines!
My grandma has a huge trellis of dragonfruit here. It stopped producing fruit for about 3 years but then it’s recently had 2 fruits (still growing) after we added more fertilizer to it and cut it back a bit. Your video was so timely because we weren’t sure when to pick the fruit. Now, I’m looking forward to harvesting them when they’re ripe :)
Love to hear this!
I was given a Dragonfruit plant a while back, today I cut cuttings off it. SUPER excited to be expanding to grow more. The health benefits of Dragonfruit are amazing!!!
I love the flower opening when it rains, love the golden dragonfruit, different healing properties, I love mine chilled with fresh lime juice.
I've had a dragon fruit plant for 6 months now that has stayed alive but never thrived, but this video has me MOTIVATED to get going 😤 I was glad to see this collaboration, I recently watched your dragon fruit series and you kept referencing Richard's work, so it's good to see him in a video!
Teach me your ways like seriously please help like I'll drop my insta i need dragon fruit
dude it takes years to grow fruit
Dragon fruit needs direct Sunlight. My niece and I got plants at the same time last year. Her's is in her pool enclosure mine is outside but areas facing west. Mine has fruit, her's doesn't.
@@adonailord5022 direct sun as in in the tropics sun? what about water frequency. Good tips!
I’ve had no idea there’s so many different varieties. I’ve learned so much from you guys! It really is a beautiful fruit and refreshing!
Our pleasure!
Man what a postive, wholesome, entertaining and informative video this is. Richard is so passionate. You guys are GOATS. Dragonfruit is so cool, I need to try some ripe!
Wow never knew that it was so many kinds of dg fruit. You are a master at growing these fruits. Keep up the good work to you both. Cant describe the honor it is to watch something so special at this magnitude. I give u a A+ for detail and sharing information that's not only interesting but so cool at the same time... Much love to the Master of dragonfruit, and also your buddy who came to give us a tour.
I've been watching Richard's vids too! I recently got cuttings 3 months ago and they've started a foot of new growth.
Someone just gave me a bunch of dragon fruit cuttings today. I’m so excited to learn how to grow this! Thanks for all of your info on them. 💕
Unexpected, interesting, fun! I like how casual you guys are talking about this. Made me feel like I was part of a real conversation, not just being talked at in another RUclips
Brilliant!!❤️❤️🌺❤️❤️ Awesome work!! Reminds me of my father, he could grow anything. He fed the entire neighborhood growing up from our 21 fruit trees and massive vegetable garden. Our area with veggie beds was larger then most people entire house. I was very lucky growing up to learn how to grow and produce food healthy organic food for many people eat healthy.
What a wonderful memory! Feeding lots of people and probably wildlife,2 is such an unselfish use of your time. I had to learn gardening by trial and error 👍🏻
I got my first dragon fruit flower!!! 😍💃🏻☺️ it only lasted a day but what a beauty! Neighbors kept coming by just to see it. I’m from Colombia and we call them pitaya. They are delicious because we pick them when they are ripe-you are right. It makes all the difference to pick fruit off the plant and enjoy 😋
Thank you!
María Lucía 💛💙❤️
Hi Richard, I only knew this dragon fruit when I came to San Diego and hesitated to try and took me almost 20 years, I didn’t know this fruit has so much variety and it really fascinated me, and made me crazy to be part of my life. This fruit has the texture and taste that I don’t mind eating often. I love the way when the branches form to a canopy sort of look. I enjoy staring at them, I even talk to them. I have watch your videos on how you take care of them, feed them, prune them, pollinate them, and harvest them. ❤️❤️❤️ These fruit so much!
I think you got bit by a love bug😆😁I’m a plant stalker myself👍🏻
Amazing. Thanks for the video, I literally just saw a dragon fruit in walmart tonight and I instantly bought it and just now began doing some research before I do anything with it
I have 16 varieties of df in my garden too including 2 yellow varieties (ecuadorian golden palora and australian golden yellow.) Love seeing other people like me who are sooo passionate about growing df.
Okay, so if you have the yellow Ecuadorian variety, what's the special property that the video mentions?
@@SuperbusQuartus159 this is late but I looked it up because I was curious. It can cause diarrhea lol
@@joselynvifquain9406 XD XD XD XD XD XD
@@joselynvifquain9406 Lol. That's good to know! Actually, it's good to keep plants around, that have medical uses. Who needs a prune, if you have a special dragonfruit? Lol
Better than Taco Bell!
I love how passionate this guy is about his dragonfruit :)
Thanks for doing this kinda video for us. This was fascinating! I already love your channel, but also really love when you venture out and show us other people's stuff. I really love these neat dragonfruit varieties! Tytytyty!
You guys rock. Thanks for all the great videos you had created. I learned a lot about dragon fruits, how to plant, grow, maintain, graft, prune, everything
Hi I’m from Africa. I tasted the fruit for the first time in my life yesterday and I’ve never seen anyone growing it here in Nigeria or in the area where I stay. I searched for how to grow dragon fruits from seed and that’s how I found you guys. I’d just have to wait the years out to harvest my first fruit. Thanks for your video and I’d leave an update here as I grow them. Thanks for your video
I notice with most fruits and berries the mini varieties taste so much better and they produce sweeter fruits if they have colder winters, so living in canada theyre always my favourite type of fruits to grow
So awesome when you meet a master! It shows you that you can be a specialist gardener. Loved the video, learned so much about dragonfruit. Keep up the great work guys!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Just started growing dragon fruit, all your videos have helped me with getting started. Thanks guys. Steve from Australia
These is how the dragon fruit master talk about dragon fruit. Love his passionate energy. Thank you!
Pretty cool! The Dragon Fruit Master and my favorite San Diego Gardener! I’m growing Dragon Fruit because of you two and Paul.
Wow, Kevin, how fun to see these unique and beautiful fruit! I enjoy these off-campus adventures 😄💛🌻💚
Just started growing from cuttings. Thank you guys for your passion and insight.
Where could I find some cuttings? I'd love to get some ready for next year🙏
I saw so many fields of dragon fruit when traveling by train in Vietnam. Impressive.
OG king of dragon fruit ! 🐉 🤴🏻 Richard is the bestttttt!
I love both of your channels, keep those video's coming Kevin and Richard! I'm so, so jealous of that Californian weather... I live in the Netherlands, I have some seedlings and just bought a bigger plant which I have cut up into 20 or so cuttings. They all rooted fine. This winter I wont have a problem taking those inside but when they start to grow on trellis I will need a much bigger house/greenhouse lol. I'm afraid I will have to give away most. Anyway it's a nice hobby.
So glad I found you because my Chinese neighbor gave us Dragonfruit cuttings and now we are growing them here in Southern California. I don’t know which variety they are but my daughter and I are excited!
I hated dragonfruit as it was so boring until I started growing a small tree in the garden (from a fruit that a customer gave me from their enormous dragonfruit ‘tree’ which must have been 40ft tall) and they’re amazing when grown to ripe in the sunshine. We also grow our own prickly pears which are some work to get to the inside but the taste is amazing, especially if you make a sorbet out of it. This guys garden is amazing!
Truly inspirational!!! Fantastic lesson & collaboration on dragon fruits!!! 🐲
Charles 🤩👍
This is amazing! I can't wait until mine start producing fruit! I got some cuttings from a neighbor and they are growing massive. One of the off shoot arms is like 4 feet long.
Amazing!
My husband grows them and we love them!!!
Happy you’re passing the knowledge!!!
Yes, thanks for these. I started growing mine from seeds and cuttings
I just bought a dragofruit from the store and tried growing seeds and now I have like 50 seedlings. I can’t believe how easy they sprout! Thanks for your videos!
Oh wow, 8months later I wonder how this is going. Did you grow them straight from seeds to maturity or did you graft any?
@@CrunchFAP_Supreme I had some die off, but I ended up with about 10 nice size plants now trailing up my fence. I’ve done it for every color at this point and have to throw seedlings away and just keep the biggest. Just throw them on a paper towel in a covered pan and a heat mat. No grafting should be necessary for this type of plant.
@@CrunchFAP_Supreme it takes a few years for them to start flowering and fruiting from seed. just like regular fruit trees. takes a while to reach maturity.
Seeds are cool if thats your only choice but will take around 3-5 years to fruit unlike a cutting that can produce in a year
2+ years later- how are the dragon fruit plants going?
I love dragon fruits. Ordered my first cuttings in May. Thanks to Richard's videos, planted them in pot with trellis in August. I'm excited, it's growing rapidly, but I live in NC, don't know how well it's going to do. Hope it'll survive the winter.
I would bring them indoors once it gets colder...
If you can't make a greenhouse for them before winter, try tarping them. And definitely start growing some cuttings separately incase they die from winter you have a backup to regrow...
Just wondering what the "special property" of the yellow fruit is, I've got my first one growing 😆
that it tastes absolutely incredible, much better than anything else :D
I rescued a sad dragonfruit my neighbor left couple years ago and got my first bloom this week. It was a beautiful white flower and now I'm waiting for my fruit. :) Thanks for all the tips guys.
Thank you.
I learn so much from you all; and then, about all new variety of things as well.
These plants, and fruit are really very intersting.
Glad to hear!
Great to see the both of you teaming up ! 😎
Excellent video! I have a plant and had no idea what to do with it! I'm so glad I found your videos. There are five flowers on it and I hope I didn't have to pollinate them. I have one in a big pot up on a wall. Now I know how to build a trellis. Thanks so much. 🙂
I just discovered your channel and I’m loving it! This video was so amazing! I just started growing a cutting that was given to me. I had no idea there were so many varieties! Thank you for all the information. Kevin is amazing!
Never knew so much about dragonfruit- learned a lot! No wonder you love them! Great video!
You have peaked my curiosity..what "special" properties does the Ecuador Palora have?
Laxative effect
@@jasmatkgood one
makes ur piss taste like skittles
I had to wait for someone at the grocery store today and I knew it would be a long long wait so I sat at Starbucks. I haven't been there in years but decided to get a drink and it was their mango dragonfruit lemonade. So good! But I can't afford Starbucks every day, nor do I want to. I found a copycat recipe but finding dragonfruit isn't easy and the powder can be expensive. And I'd bet that it's not as good. So glad I found this video. I live in Arizona, in the desert and I'm sure I can grow a cactus. So I'm going to order a dragonfruit plant and grow my own. I'm really excited about that. Just a bit more research on the one best suited to our climate. We're a bit harsher than southern California. Thank you so much for this.
I've never had a vine ripened dragonfruit, Richard has inspired me to grow a few of them and test my luck!
i am happy to see young gardeners
I bought 1 plant at Lowes and 3 cuttings on line 2 years ago and I've now got 50+ plants. I'm here in Florida and the Dragon Fruit seems to really like this zone. The cuttings root nearly 100% of the time.
Have they given you fruit yet?
@@FoodShowFan Yes, the last two years. This summer I've had 100+ blossoms but no fruit yet.
@@stevenryle5709 that’s awesome, thanks!
I done 1 better. Bought 200 plants in 3 days
I have a red fleshed Dragon fruit, and some yellow Dragon Fruit seedlings.
They are such wacky cacti and I love them!
Absolutely beautiful garden! I am such a fan of this plant!
Excellent, we will definitely be growing some dragon fruit at our little farm!
Asian garden 2 table lovely
no you wont
Felicitation
Mine two I've got over 250 plants all on large wooden fence posts
Wishing you a dragonbounty harvest.
I live in Arkansas. I started some Dragon fruit two years ago from seed that I got from the grocery store. I watched this video and was quite impressed about the size of your plants. Mine are only about 2 feet tall, I hope I have them in big enough pots (3 gallon sized) and in the right kind of soil (sandy loam). I have to move them into the greenhouse when temperatures get too low, so a bigger pot is more difficult to move. I have them on moss poles but it looks like I'll need to upgrade to stronger wooden forms like yours (only a tad smaller). I'm interested in what kind, how much, and when on fertilizer. Thanks for this video, it has taught me so much
It sounds pretty good to me
I'm only half way through the vid, and I'm planning my trip to the local Galeria to get some seed... I could seriously just sit in Dragon Alley for hours and stare at those plants!
Well Done Richard !!!
I tasted dragon fruit for the first time about 2 weeks ago. I got two from the supermarket, kept them for 2 and 4 days before eating. Had it cold scooping out the flesh with a spoon. They were red and sweet. I enjoyed the experience. I hope the seed i plant will geow into dragon fruit cactus within 4 years. I also hope to come by them again soon. Thanks for the video
I like it when you said even if it doesn’t taste good, it tastes better if you’re growing it yourself. That is so true. What people don’t realize is when we combine bitters, sours, and other flavors together with cooking or blending they enhance a propagation of flavors. Basically an amalgam of yummy.
Got me so jealous eating all that beautiful fresh dragonfruit! Wondering if I can really justify heating a greenhouse enough to make it happen in zone 7 lol
I love the red LaVerne. The wavy stalks are super cool
Thank you ! I have a huge plant growing around a tree. I wasn’t aware I could pollinate. I have some flowers ready to bloom. I’m going to try to get fruit .
Thank you !!!!
My word those drinks look so refreshing. No wonder they're smiling ear to ear lol.
I started growing some peruvian apple cactus this year, it's in the same genus as dragonfruit and produce pitaya. I just thought they are really interesting and worth a mention. I cant wait to see how they grow!
Yeah those are so good too!
Cereus, hylocereus, selenicereus... It's a messy but amazing grouping of plants.
Man I wanna try all those different dragonfruits with u guys!!! Im soooo intrigued!!! Thank you for sharing guys!!
I tried dragon fruit a couple months ago I bought 2 from my local grocery store and they where hard so I put them in a paper bag and checked them everyday and after a week they where a bit soft and I cut it it was sooo sweet I couldn't believe how good it was! I kept hearing people say they don't tast like anything its probably that they weren't ripe yet. Have patience with it. To me it tastes like a kiwi and a pear combo....amazing!! Dragons eggs!!!
I’m guessing the “special property” is that they help with constipation lol. They are very high in fiber.
;)
Vanessa Alexandra Yes they and they remind me of like the effects of a chia seed. They get things moving but it’s a good thing. I never had an unpleasant experience but it’s an all natural way to go! 💩
Does it change the color though? I think we can all agree that that's the main question here.
Same reason why papaya is supposed to make you go right?
And, my dirty mind was thinking aphrodisiac.
I like all your vids. very informative and helpful. I got one of these for Christmas...very small but full of leaves I took a tip from this vid and transplanted it in a much larger pot. The plant is just going crazy now. I was wondering if you could maybe make a video for people like me that get all kinds of small plants as gifts and they are usually something I know nothing about caring for. I think it would be helpful to have a small how to to get those christmas plants off to a good start
This video was absolutely torture and I DO NOT appreciate that! I literally drooling, especially with these really detailed descriptions of the favour! Love you so much for the information you shared... I guess I'll be back for more tasteful torture. 😅❤🙏🏽👌🏾
I love this video. And i saw in his eyes the true happiness. Thank you for giving information abour dragon fruit varieties😊
These look spectacular! Perfect time to just eat a few with some nice cold water. Ugh. So jealous. Well know that I know how they are harvested young, I feel so cheated for the first and only time I ate dragon fruit.
I love seeing the excitement of his face talking about the special but the regular too
Your not a collector your a great grower :)
I have a strawberry cacti i grew from seed i can't wait for it to flower and fruit
I have been growing it for over 5 years :)
It will be special :)
I have a Dragon fruit too and a couple prickly pear types :) i love cacti :)
1st question is what does the dragon fruit do to you when you eat it? Does it give you gas (my guess)? Next question is- I live in the East ( Pittsburgh PA) so I get freezing temperatures in winter & Shorter and not it's not as hot summers as in CA, wiill I be able to grow dragon fruit outside here? Will I have to take it inside during the Winter?? How should I care for it while inside? I have grow lights I could keep it under if that would be best and if that would keep it growing throughout the Winter time. If it would, how many hours of light per day would be recommended? I think I would prefer to buy a cutting to speed up the time to to the fruiting stage stage so do you have a recommended source(s) for purchasing cuttings? I'll definitely check out and subscribe to your channel but I figured I would ask these questions here or for the benefit of everyone in the East. thank you in advance for your help
@@aarongentile7232 I don't get gas from them...
And growing them they do like lights in winter and will keep growing if they are warm enough
Mine doesn't grow in the winter I have it in a cool window that gets very little light
I don't water my cacti much because it's cool and lower light so I don't water and they hibernate in a way
But giving them light and warmth in the winter they will grow faster for you
And thanks I hope you enjoy your stay
Leonard cuts are awesome! My favorite for intricate tightly branched ornamental maples.
My daughter was curious and bought one at the store. It really had no flavor so we we never bought it again. Flavor to price ratio was not worth it based on what we had at the store. However 3 weeks ago I went to farmers market they where selling for $1.00. I still wasn’t going to buy it but then they cut up a few. I forgot to eat breakfast so hey why not get a piece and WOW it is now my favorite fruit of all time. So amazing.
To this day the best thing I've ever tasted was a Dragon fruit smoothie my uncle made me when I was 16
So delish
love the dragonfruit shirt!
It is so satisfying to watch the harvesting of these sweet beasts.
Your knowledge will be put to great use. Thank you for sharing.
Actually found a Ecuador Palora fruit in one of my local grocery stores. We saved some of the seeds and planted them. They are a couple inches tall at this point. Guess it would be best to find some root stock to transplant it on to.
any update on the plant? :)
Love watching Kevin eat dragonfruit. He looks so happy!
Wow! I'm Vietnamese American. We love to eat Dragonfruit. Thank you so much for sharing your video.
Hi!!! So beautiful all your dragon fruit plants!!!!, I'm very excited, finally I got branches this year!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!?
I like Richard as much as the next but idk about the God of d.f. lol... George Emerich... Paul Thomson... Edgar Valdivia... Gray Martin... and others have 20 + years of experience and expertise. Richard is an awesome d.f. grower and nice AND generous with his experience... doing a big part in bringing d.f. to a more mainstream position in society .. and that hopefully will bring price down as well and help d.f. become more accessible to all 🙌🙌
Your last sentence is our goal :)
For such a small room, he's growing so many of them!
Love this I have watched it like 8 times through the Canadian winter ❄️
Thanks for such a passionate, fun, and informative video🏆 One of my favorite cacti varieties, although i grew them for their incredible flowers. I'm so envious of where you live to have them this big. Up north you need a big window or a green house. Hearing of the different textures and what happens to them with freezing, these fruits sound like they'd be perfect for making sherbet...🍨
Teach me everything there is to know about a fruit I can never grow living in West Michigan. Maybe someday when my Mom moves to Florida, we'll start dragon fruit and mango trees!
:( I know I wish it could grow everywhere!
Build a sun room
You probably can grow it there but maybe use a greenhouse to keep the climate under control??
I planted dragon fruit this year here in California and it's doing great.
I wish you talked more about how to plant them and maintain the trees.
I noticed your trees are in planters, my isn't.
Also do they need protection from frost?
Any specific frutolizers?
The first time I ate one was last month, super good, not too sweet, very moist, love it, I used a teaspoon and ate from the peel like a cup of ice cream, it was fun. I let some seed dry with some pulp, into the peel cup, ants do the work to make the pulp desaparecen, hehe, so I just put the peel cup in a small pot and a lil bit of soil into it and now I have some tiny ones. Thank goodness I found this video to know how to care. Thanks.
I’m here watching and saying ‘wow’ all throughout the video! Really amazing!
Dragon fruit sweetness seems to vary vastly from fruit to fruit. I have had dragonfruit from the same bin that are miles apart in sweetness. Yellow dragon fruit are incredibly sweet if thats your preference.
I'm imagining what it'd be like to grow an exclusively yellow garden. Yellow squash, yellow carrots, yellow corn, lemons... and now yellow dragon fruit. It'd be neat to see how far the idea can go. Or, better yet, a garden that's laid out by color. White in one area, yellow in another, purple, blue, red...
I really want to eat some dragon fruit now, wow, funny how that's works 🤤
listening to you guys describe the flavor at 20 min made my mouth water
