I'm totally into Dragon Fruit and after 3 years I got my first fruits. No idea what type. Red Skin and Pink fruit. Enjoy your content and lessons. Thanks big time. I live in north county San Diego, Vista
Having grown up around home gardens and fruit trees all my life I’ve realized that when the fruit starts bursting open it is when it is at it’s juiciest and best tasting.
Such a great, detailed, and thorough video, Richard. I love that you try to do various tests to get an idea of what the dragon fruit tastes like. Love the deep red color on the flesh!
I just brought 3 cuttings, watched your other video about how to plant them, great info, and now I'm even more excited to grow mine since you explained how to grow and the tasting so well, thank you.
Excelente! Esta hermosa la penca (esqueje) , la fruta su color rojo brillante por fuera y ese rojo o guinda intenso por dentro!! Y por lo que expresas en su sabor... uy un manjar!.
Hello. I've been started watching it your video about 3~4 days now it is a wow 👏!! Awesome to watching it! But I want some of the dragon fruits because you make me drilling watered my mouth!!! Thanks for all your dragon fruits video! Love to watching it.
I have 2 types of red dragon fruit, one is big and weighs 550 g and the other weighs about 300 g. The one that is heavy has to be hand pollinate but the smaller one is self pollinate. The inside of the big one has the same color as red jaina. But still, I love the taste of the Ecaudor ones.
Could buy some pollens from you? This year my dragon fruit was the first year having the flower buds. I did hand pollinate and failed on fruiting. It made me wonder my dragon fruit is needed to cross pollinate. All my dragon fruit plant knowledge learned from your videos. Thank you for teaching us on dragon fruits!
Awesome video! That dragon fruit variety is on my bucket list. Have you ever considered selling some of your variety cuttings? SpicyExotics is sold out, and I only have Purple Haze at the moment so I want to grow more varieties. Let me know if that's something you would consider (:
I'm excited watching this. I've struggled with my red Dragonfruit for 4 years. I bought it from a nursery. Never a flower. Only skinny straggly limbs that insist on growing upward no matter how I try to get them to drape even when I prune. Help! Any suggestions?
ikreate 4u Your dragon fruit plant could be making skinny limbs and not making fruit due to it being a plant started from seed. Dragon fruits started from seed need about 6 years to fruit while cuttings can fruit as quick as 1 to 2 years and grow much faster. Also whether your plant is from seed or cutting a lack of water sunlight or nutrients can cause them to grow skinny branches. After you water it scratch the soil and if it’s still dry underneath keep watering, sometimes when the soil gets dry it can look like you’re watering it well on top but the water is actually not penetrating into the root area due to how dry the soil is. Also if all else fails you can buy mature cuttings on eBay or Etsy for reasonable prices, I’ve had great success with those, they grow very fast and pick up where the mature plant left off. Also as far as pruning I just chop off the top of mine when they get too tall and carefully train the new branches to droop down. I hope this helps. Good luck!
Richard I have a question on dragon fruit I have a red flush and a pink flush is that self pollinate That would be awesome if you get the answer for me I love all your video it's awesome
Oh my Gosh, I'm so jealous. Can I have a taste too. I love dragon fruit so much. Where did you buy that tester for sweetness content. Please let me know
Wow nice colour. Love your video very informative. Just want to if know if you sell any of the dragon fruit cutting. Your videos motivate me to start my own Dragon fruit collection. But i live Queensland Australia
Love your videos and how you explain I learn a lot from you I didn’t have any dragon fruit las year but after watch every one you video now I have 8 different plant , I would like to have this one ,did you sale the plants i be looking for red jaina? Thank you 🙏
I luv your videos, n dope passion for dragon fruit I wish i could be your friend n just talk about dragon fruit all day, oh I wish i had friends that r just like this lol. my favorite drink from Starbucks Is the dragon fruit drink n where Am from, we just have watermelons and apples n blueberries not to much exotic cool out of the box fruits like u have all around😂😂 i think it’s cool that u just have like a huge dragon fruit garden in ur backyard lol. Hi I’m a lil girl from Oregon who has dreams of growing a fruit garden 😊 for my Starbucks refreshers cravings and just those healthy antioxidants that fruits give ya n I rlly need them(heart disease) but it’s not that cheap n I don’t like to waste money🤫. you’ve been basically am teaching me ALL ik so thank you thank you thank youuu sm I’ve been getting closer n closer. I’ve got some UV lights cuz it’s not summer all year round here. I also got most of my fruit seeds, and I could use some help choosing where to get dragon fruit seeds from online. n i was hoping you could answer or someone else kick in n give me a lil tip cuz I have no idea n can’t decide😬 I’m stressed that the seeds won’t be as good as they say on a website n then harvest very unflavored n not to flattering fruits😅😓.
Hi Richard those are the variety of dragon fruit i wanted. I emailed you yesterday i believe at "graftingdragonfruit" about buying some cutting from you....
I am so excited my friend just gave me some cuttings! Idk which type it is but hopefully it gives me some fruit! About how long would it take for it to give me fruits?
Hi im from the beautiful Caribbean island Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹...im now starting growing dragon fruits ....but when my dragon fruit plants flowers it turns yellow and falls off....I have the red flesh variety....I've tried self pollinating but the flowers still drops off .....please help me
Richard my niece lives in lemon grove area, is that far from you. if it is close can I send her to buy red jaina stem to you. since there is covid, she can just pick it up outside and leave money on the envelope. hope you can help me with this. thanks
@@RAREDRAGONFRUIT spices exotics is pretty good from what I hear. Just my only problem with them is they were out of stock for the dragon fruit cuttings aside from 3 white flesh varieties which were not the ones I wanted. I did look at them for 2 months if they restocked but I guess they only do it during certain times of the year when new crunches grow on the dragon fruit. Except I was somewhat impatient and wanted to get mine soon as possible. So thats why I got mine from Etsy.
My physical graffiti is finally flowering after 3 years... hopefully it'll fruit. Do red varities usually take longer to fruit? My vietnamese white fruited within a year.
Hey dude i saw your channel and got some cuttings... wel they were doing good for like 2 months but vegas is like 110 right now and they’re turning yellow and withering... I’d really like to save them if possible is there anything i can do? Or something i might be doing wrong ?
Id like to start some Dragonfruit from store-bought fruits but since they take relatively long to grow i wanted to know if the seeds from store-bought dragonfruit can bear fruit or if I have to buy special seeds/cuttings?
Yeah that's possible. Red Jaina is a self sterile dragon fruit. So you need to cross pollinate it from another variety of dragon fruit, so that would work too
I have a question for you. The leaves of the dragon fruit kind of resemble aloe vera leaves. Have you found out if the leaves contain something (gel maybe) that may be useful in something? (medicinal?)
Hi Claudia, I'm currently working on a website to create a easier way for everyone to acquire my varieties of Dragon fruits. For now, its fruiting season and I won't be having cuttings available until close to November.
You asked how I grew DF on the coast in the winter. I only have a few plants in 20 gallon planters, I just put them on wheels, and wheel them inside for the winter, house is always above 65f.
I bought a dragon fruit cutting from home depot. They didn't clarify what variety it was just that it was red flesh. Any tips on indentifying the variety? Thanks
This isn't exactly the same but here's a Lisa cutting (calpolypomonanursery.com/dragon-fruit-lisa-plant/) They're both varieties of Hylocereus Polyrhizus. Just picked one up a couple weeks ago and it's already growing new growth!
Hello, do you know “red heart” chinese variety? Please answer 🙏it really exists or the seller just wants my money? He sayed is a very rare and costly variety.. thanks
Hey man, I'm a new sub! can I grow dragon fruit in a mediterranean climate without any problems? And how long does it take for plants to grow from seeds and bear fruit?
Yes they grow in Mediterranean climates. California is a Mediterranean climate and I live and grow them in Western Australia. (Same latitude south as Kevin is north) They do need water in Summer though.
Hi Richard, Can you PLEASE tell me where or If you can sell me a stem or two of the red jaina dragon fruit for me to start up. I also lived in california. maybe I can stop by your place if your not too far from me. I would appreciate if you would let me know. Thanks God bless.
@@jaredf.6532 The one you got from etsy, is it good. I live in San Bernardino County. My niece live in san diego, If richard would sell I can ask my niece to pick them up or if he can mail a stem or two, I would be happy to pay him back, at least for sure the plant would be healty. Thanks jared for your respond, Hopefully richard can help me. Please let me know if you are happy for you bought at etsy and is it really red jaina? God bless Jared.
@@emmacarpio7528 the one I got was ok. It was maybe about a foot tall that looked in poor shaped, however it is the one growing the best out of all the other 3 cuttings I bought. It has a new branch growing rn at the moment thats maybe about 2 months old. I do suggest Spicey Exotics to get your cuttings there. They have a huge selection of them and they are expensive to me although I've read the reviews they give you big or long cuttings. My only problem is when I looked at their stock. They were out of stock for a majority of the stuff from 2 months looking at them. So my guess is they only restock during certain times of the year when new branches grow. That is why I got mine from Etsy. I was being impatient and wanted to get mine soon. However if Richard does manage to respond. Then that's pretty good! I will mention he also has a dragon fruit Facebook group too that you can join from what he has said in previous videos to get help from

Check the brix after you harvest. In my opinion, chilling the fruit messes with the brix of any fruit.

Do you have red gena street ? I want to buy from you thank
Nice brother
My dragon fruit flower turned yellow and fell down after blooming ,I done hand pollination but the results are same , please help
Too much water
If the branch turn yellowish that mean you over water. Also when you have buds or flowers waters less, so the flowers won't turn yellow and fall off
