I have a spiraling Epiphyllum (curly kai, curly sue, curly lock whatever) that set fruit without pollination. It taste really sweet like a megalanthus and a taste more comolex that just rose water. It does taste a little floral but not in a bad sense. It's better than most dragon fruit I can find in Europe and I have tried every available variety. I also know that old plants get packed with fruits. Mine gave me two this year while my dragon fruit never bloomed.
@@RAREDRAGONFRUIT i used it's pollen to pollinate... A Notocactus, and the fruit is packed with seeds even if i suspect they are produced by gynogenesis. So maybe it's a good pollen donor
Lol, I try not to name them unless they pass the taste and un rooted growth tests. I did name a seedling that is G-3 crossed with PG because it stabbed me mant times and has a long, single spine haha. I call it hypodermic

Sounds great! I like most cactus fruit.

I have a fishbone aka zigzag plant that looks similar. Waiting for it to grow flowers some day to cross pollinate. Nice video of epiphyllums
You must do updates on the journey of the hybrid seeds! I am sooo interested in how the lil 🌵 will look and grow 🌵 🌵 🌵 🌵
I will, thanks for watching
Good luck with this project!
Thank you! I just had 6 seeds sprout!
Such an interesting plant!
Yes it is! Thanks for watching
That's amazing paul!!! Those seeds there of alot of value!
Not to me, it was pretty easy to cross. I am all about affordable prices to keep the interest in the hobby for the long term.
@@RAREDRAGONFRUIT wonderful my friend
Thanks for sharing, the flower is definitely beautiful.
Thanks for watching.
Pretty nice bloom, actually quite spectacular.
Don Burnett made a nice cross on this one.
Such a unique cultivar
Paul any update on the hybrids ?
Let's go!!! 1-3 lol and this one as well
Lolk
Waiting the seeds result,interesting
Still wanting a cutting in June
:)
Amazing video!! Are you gonna be selling any seeds?
Never really thought about it... More of a breeder these days :)
Hope seedling retain gentetics of the flower but have the taste of a good dragon fruit
Is there any dragon fruit with red flower meanwhile it is self pollinating
Paul is this self sterile or self fertile ?
I think it's self sterile, if it was selffertile it would have been packed with seeds.
I belive SS. I cross pollenate everything. Many "self fertile" varieties make pretty small fruit compared to when pollenated.
Ooo..what are you going to name the babies from this fruit? Dragon dutchman?
