I'm curious as to how ur plants are doing currently? As I live in the central California valley, and this year has been wetter than usual and I think I lost my outside dragon fruit plants. Fortunately looks like you have a greenhouse to protect a good majority of yours.
It has been brutal, but little to no protection for all well rooted plants and nothing died. This has been a long, cold, and wet winter. Where is Spring?
I think some damage would be inevitable. You might be able to wrap them up when temps dip into or below the low 30's. Here is some information about cold hardy dragon fruit varieties. ucanr.edu/sites/VCMG/files/243725.pdf
What Plant is that, Paul? Thanks for answering, and another question lets say the plant die cause of the cold if we take it to a place more adopted it will be better or its the end of that plant

Have to start getting ready for the cold temperatures.
Yes sir!
I'm looking forward to see an update on this plant soon. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Will do!
Im in the los Angeles area. I recently got some fresh cuttings. Will they still root and grow? Or is it too late? thanks
Hey paul! Do etiolated branches grown over the winter propagate normally? If so, Im gonna have a ton of new plants when I trim them in the spring lol.
They do fine in my experience. I leave them when possible and the new growth is normal.

Are there any varieties that will grow in zone 8b without having to be brought indoors? We get about a dozen brief frosts per pear and no snow.

You ever rarely have hail?
👍👍☘️☘️
1:45 what the pink/purple color variety ??
Hi Paul what is the name of the big thorned dragon fruit you have? The one with the biggest thorns
I came across a mature plant like that one
Can we protect them with pine neeble? And should they be dried?
If they are mature, they do well down to the mid 30's. If they are young or unrooted cuttings, give them some protection.

And they can survive a mouth with every night at 10*C for that??
How old does the dragon fruit plant have to be to start sprouting
A seedling takes 3-5 years to produce fruit. If it's grafted to a mature rootstock, it will take about 18-24 months.
Because I have one that is one year old and it hasn’t sprouted
Seed should sprout in a week or two. The seeds don't store form much longer than a year in most climates. Check to see if the seeds are still viable.
I live in Ohio and for the life of me I don’t know where this plant came from. But it’s never bloomed.
Bummer. Tip the branches and give it some fertilizer and introduce it to more sunlight carefully.
