It is named so, because the fruits resemble a dragon! In India, both red pulp and white pulp dragonfruit are grown, although the white pulp one is more common.

They show so much love for what they are doing. Wish you all the best on your farm

[@FishandDiveHawaii]

🎉 awesome video

[@OffGridInvestor]

I have seen people limit the fruit per stem to 3 or 4, but they were saying that many buds DIE OFF before they open as flowers. They showed the buds going yellow and said the plant will eventually drop them off dead but to save wasted energy on a flower that dies before opening, they pull them off as soon as the first yellow shows. And if there's still more than 4, they pull a few more off, usually the smallest ones.

This video is the Best! Great job at educating us

[@user-br2rd1sk2t]

Great. Expects more for beginer

[@indugupta2785]

Great information 👌👌

[@OffGridInvestor]

Actually almost all cacti DO FRUIT but not every year and often small to tiny fruits. Except peruvian apple which generally fruits yearly and is a reasonable size. It's a smooth skinned fruit with insides similar to dragonfruit.

[@StarvrosMitchell]

Thank for the great information you provided; this is great. Beside the business aspect, I love the idea of having more access to a wide variety of fruit. I am viewing from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. Your fruit orchard looks great, I believe the other fruit tree are sapodilla. Great video and thank you once more for sharing this knowledge. Could 2-inch pvc be used instead of wooden or concrete post?

[@Farmizen]

yes you can. But only concern is the pipes shouldn't bend under the weight of the plant. Also - they should be stable and fixed properly. Stone slabs are heavy and have stability

[@StarvrosMitchell]

thank you, I choose to use concrete post@@Farmizen

[@sales4malidadfoods655]

[@23dannyt]

Everyone says not to plant deep in the soil that is true but depending on how mature the cutitmg is that dont mater I’ve gotten this Laverne red that was like 6 inches deep in the soil lol

[@OffGridInvestor]

There's a high chance the end will start rotting and instead of forming roots, you just get rotten stem underground. This is WELL known and goes for ALL cacti.

[@gregoriosmith6994]

Where did you get the Laverne red?

[@vijendrasaini1815]

I have grown 500 plant of dragon fruit bt not get fruits

[@nischithkg]

Love the farm and the owners.. pls let me know if I can get their number.. I am a doctor and farmer.. Regards and good luck.

[@dicksonbanda9695]

How can I be helped with seedlings please please please please.

[@OffGridInvestor]

They take 4 years to grow to full sized. If you get a fruit with the skin tags purple completely instead of green ends, you can grow them from seed by just sitting them on water in the sun in a glass. In 3 days they'll sprout and you pull them out with tweezers to plant them. But they need to be kept mold free, preferably with the copper spray. Or air flow in a humid environment instead of inside a container like most cacti are sprouted. I have over 200 seedlings right now.

[@kunjsolanki6340]

What is bucks

[@terryvincent3640]

Bucks is a slang term for American dollars.
