ALL ABOUT PITAHAYA (a/k/a DRAGON FRUIT) vs. PITAYA

[@VianneyCreates]

LOL! I paused the video, went to my local Green Thumb Nursery (mask on), bought my Dragon Fruit plant (last one they had)...resumed the video and now I learned I have to buy another variety for the fruit to work out!!! LOL!! OK, maybe I will get to Exotica Nursery tomorrow and see what I can work out! TYSM, and God bless this dear sweet man!

[@IVOrganic]

VianneyCreates LOL 🤣 May your gardening collection continue to grow!!! Happy Gardening!!! Charles 🌱👍

I bought my first dragon fruit over 2 years ago, saved some seeds and then put them in a pot, it took months for them to germinate and months for them to actually grow big enough to transplant into something bigger, they are absolutely going crazy outside this summer and will be transplanted into a rectangular container and on a raised, wheeled stand that I can move inside every fall as I am in central Illinois. Now I need to chase down a cutting to hopefully, in time, have an opportunity to try to actually get a fruit.

Timely in4mation, I am going into commercial cultivation soon.. thank u be blessed

[@OutboundShane]

When I visited Guadalajara, Mexico I bought 10 pitayas to take back to the room. I ate 1 before boarding the metro train and the other 9 magically disappeared. I wish they were easy to find in the US.

This is an excellent information! I wonder why doesn’t have to May visits and likes?

You can also graft seedlings onto mature rootstock... lots of people have been doing that :)

😮I've been to a Rare Fruit Growers meeting in Palos Verdes. Gotta go again when things open back up. Great information!

[@Mrbfgray]

Great info. I've been tentatively growing a few of these in recent months, very useful vid. Some say ants will pollinate them?

[@dragonfruitnaga8416]

I’ve learned a lot from this. Thank you

Amazing colors! Thank you Edgar, for all you do in the world of Dragon Fruit.

Hello Judy! We are all so lucky for all the good that Edgar does for us members of the C.R.F.G. organization, and beyond! Wishing you a GREAT weekend! Charles :-)

[@markaimey1098]

How do I know when the dragon fruit is ripe for harvest?

[@rsrawat1947]

Here in Dehradun North India I have successfully grafted cuttings of seed grown yellow DF successfully. I hope in 2 years I can get the yellow ones.

[@mansourhrera6151]

thank you

[@wjadminlozanoconstruction8548]

Thank you for sharing!

[@iartistdotme]

I must try these fruits! Sound great for my yard.

[@IVOrganic]

Hello Mary W. That was the goal of this lesson-- To inspire others to add this easy to grow plant & off the chart return on investment fruit into as many home gardens!!! Keep me posted!!! Charles :-)

[@Mrbfgray]

For what it's worth--you can purchase starter segments online, around $10 on Amazon, easy to ship. I bought a few several months ago, all grew nicely with neglect, I only kept the soil moist and moderated direct summer sun a little. Growing decent look good.

Following China and Vietnam, large tracts of land have been devoted to the DF in India. The state of Gujarat seems to be leading the pack.

I am really inspired by Grandfather to make commercial dragon fruit farm in future. In the meantime I have started December 2019 test basis farm in my house rooftop. Pink Verity and Israel yellow Verity.

[@arielcortez7393]

Great video very informative... you said you have a guy working Grey Martin? Is that Grey E. Martin who created the Gem avocado?

[@IVOrganic]

Hello Ariel! I was attempting to research this person this week without much luck... I'll try to get the answers in the upcoming month or two as I attend more California Rare Fruit Grower meetings.... Stay tuned!!! Charles :-)

Pitahaya is dragon fruit, and pitaya is prickly pear.

I love dragon fruits especially the red one.

[@AYOGAgriVenture]

wow amazing drgon

[@andrewhart4539]

I would love to find some Pitaya, the stenocereus variety, as I have read that it is more tart than dragonfruit Pitahaya. Sadly, it seems impossible to find.

[@harv6871]

Is there Dragon fruit Trellis manufacturer?

[@pamstout]

I saw the fruit in Walmart's fruit section today. I live in Sandpoint, Idaho.

[@Mrbfgray]

Amazing. I've seen them in Safeway in farther North California recently, almost bought one to try (around $6/ea.), next time, since I've started growing a few several months ago and have never eaten the fruit.

[@pamstout]

@@Mrbfgray I have 2 plants, but no idea what variety. I will buy one to try next time I go shopping.

[@yagneshpatel5934]

Can we grow it in container..I mean 9 to 12 inch pot...and in that can we get fruit...?

[@IVOrganic]

Hello Yagnesh Patel . Edgar recommends starting in a smaller pot (1 gallon size); but the established plants are grown in 15-25 gallon containers. I will show you in more detail in the garden tour to follow in the next few days! Stay tuned, and be sure to subscribe!!! Charles :-)

[@SalviMithrin]

Of course yes. I have a plant eight months old and it's got 5 flowers.

Hello...Do you know anything about the Veltzen Dragon Fruit Hylocereus-Red flesh that's all I know about it...also Hylocereus Triangularis- I think it's just another night blooming cactus...I have both & can't really find any info on either one...thanks again Buddy

[@oakstreetorchard7469]

Got 3 varieties from Florida hill nursery their cheap tissue cultures and grow super fast I want all them and his what's his contact info

[@graniteridgegreens6278]

I was thinking this was close to the Prickly Pear Cactus (Opuntia Ficus Indica). Is this similar in anti inflammatory qualities?

[@graniteridgegreens6278]

Are you growing this at all (Opuntia Ficus Indica) ? We found it very beneficial after her stroke.

[@thilai8793]

Hi one week how many time I need to water? Because my df did not give me fruits have buds then bloom then not give me fruits thanks

[@joansturgeon3054]

GMO pitaya?

[@IVOrganic]

Joan Sturgeon Hello 👋 There May be some GMO varieties?- not sure? We are talking about hybridization & cross-pollination in this lesson (which is not GMO). You & I are ‘crosses’ made between our parents... similar to the new & improved varieties being created my ‘crossing’ good varieties of dragon fruit, planting the seeds, and tasting the resulting fruit to see if it’s better or worse than the parent variety. Also known as natural selection. I hope this helps! Charles 🌱👍

[@joansturgeon3054]

@@IVOrganic Thanks, good to know!

[@Amerimeximama]

Modern era? 🤣 It’s still called a pitahaya period.

[@francisthohuukhuong2229]

The crossing, the naming explanations, and the flavors... you explain are very basic and incorrect. Dragon Fruit ins VietNam, has a total different meaning... you don't even understand it... Not a good show!!!

[@MrTachyon3000]

Dragon fruit is NOT from Vietnam; get that right.

[@howtogrowdragonfruitplant7849]

Many dragon fruit hybrid variety are named the country they created it in...
