Hope this was helpful! Let me know how your dragon fruit season is going 😊

[@user-27483]

Hi Richard, I can tell you enjoying your fatherhood journey. I enjoy watching and learning from you. I am really interested in starting my own dragon fruit journey.

[@leonardochoa8206]

Hey Richard. Thanks for sharing as usual. I'm from the Caribbean, Trinidad🇹🇹. My dragonfruit started budding way early this year from late January and wasn't expecting such early budding. As such, I didn't get to prune before budding. Is it ohk to prune the tree while it is budding/flowering/fruiting?

[@luisr.fernandez955]

You can also make home made jam or mermalade..it turns out delicious….

[@4bras1coeur87]

​J'ai fait de la confiture juste avec la peau du fruit du dragon. Comment faites vous?

[@dianastarodub7592]

My girls like in the summer citrus..they like to drain juice and put in it mineral water ..sugar and ice ..taste like lemonade 😋

[@davidtweeddale5775]

Thank you. You are extremely professional, not only in the horticultural aspect, but the presentation equally.

[@gwenshikatani5211]

Wish I found you when I first planted my dragonfruit! They are so big and out of control, I'll be doing a lot of pruning now and hopefully increase productivity. Thanks for sharing all your information!

[@chrisclarke7828]

Bit like the presenter is.

[@GraceT]

I just went through my dragon fruit today and trimmed them. It hurt my heart to cut them, but I had to reassure myself that it would speed up growth in the main branch. Crossing fingers!

[@vasquezfamily2101]

yes it will, they grow fast

[@oliveravelinojr9558]

Richard, for your orange, you can try putting 2 cups of brown sugar close to the roots. I have 2 sour orange trees like you have. I dig a hole very close to the tree enough to contain 2 cups of brown sugar. I then soak the brown sugar with water. I let the water drain and soak the sugar again. You can do this 2-3 times or until you don’t see the sugar. I have done this 2 years in a row, and I have been getting sweeter oranges. Give it a try and good luck! Thanks for your video, I have learned very important method to produce more fruits for my dragon fruits.

[@lorraineng683]

Wont that encourages more ants?

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@rositasipirok-siregar8152]

Thank you for the instruction. I just had my first harvest, but only 7 fruit showed up. Now I know why and will start pruning for next year's season. Also, once you tip the end, will it re-flower next year, or do you have to let new branches grow to produce new flower?

[@rhysdehaan]

Hey Richard, thanks for the videos. I'm 17 and in Australia, and I've got 15 small dragonfruit plants. I only paid for 2 of them haha. $30

That’s awesome!! Now get those plants to grow into a mother tree and benefit its fruits!

Thank you for the awesome knowledge. You have been the most helpful person pertaining to grafting dragon fruit. I am very excited to go searching for a viable stem to graft to my rootstock. New sub for sure!

[@lanawolf5681]

Is it ok to paint the wood trellis before i have my plant grow on it?

[@TaxEvasion777]

I assume it’s perfectly fine with modern paints but if you’re worried about chemicals avoid painting the part that goes under the soil.

[@migdaliaramos]

I have three different in a same pot, and are blooming at the same time, the white one, the flower is more simple, the red one the flower is so big and the thorns!!!! The birds are picking on the little bubs and I originally have 9 of them right now only 5.

[@foxie2u1965]

My Dragon fruit tree Has been grown on a palm for at least 15years. It is way over grown. What is the best way to remove it and start cuttings as you have done. I have had 1 fruit in the 15years it has been there. So I know it can pollinate itself. It flowers every year 1 time, but they don't produce fruit and when it does it usually gets eaten by squirrels. The squirrels are a pest problem in fruiting season(eating the new fruit) and when growing on the palm tree I can't reach them to bag them! Do I just pull it all down and keep the best leads?

[@justindelmundo1365]

Hi! What's the brand name of your pruning shear/scissor? It will be much helpful for fruit picking.

[@rositasipirok-siregar8152]

Looks like your citrus tree is kaffir lime tree? Leaves are used in making curry and fruit can be squeezed for refreshment. Enjoy it!

[@paryungmartin8269]

@@GraftingDragonFruit thank you for replying! My plant is 2.5 years old from cutting. Usually how many years do plants have to grow before fruiting?

[@philemonbaah-nuamah134]

Can you tip or prune when they are flowering?

[@deborahdupain5962]

Thanks for the great video. I’ve just found Dragon Fruit and your explanations are wonderful. I’m purchasing some small cuttings and was wondering if when you plant them out do they just keep growing upwards? Do the need to be pruned when they get say 4 feet tall to make them branch. I’m in New Zealand in the South Pacific. Thanks Deb DUPAIN

[@onthefarmwithsmokymist47]

I have two beautiful dragon fruits, here in East TN. I can't leave them out over the winter of course, so my son built wooden cages on wheels that are amazing, I just roll them in for the cold months. They do produce 2-3 dragon fruit for us every year. It's a huge deal when they do...we love it. I'd like to expand my collection, which varieties would you suggest and do you sell those ?

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Thats amazing! Nothing beats home grown dragon fruits. These are some of my favorites kzbin.info/www/bejne/poeQopiKgd2Doac

It you really cool you have them growing in such a small pot? It that a 2 x 4 you using? How do you support it at the bottom?

Very interesting , my first season had about 7 flower no fruit yet , i will keep trying i think my pots are small , be changing them. Please can you tell the size of your pots. Thanks

[@susanlama2061]

Hello Richard, I have one questions.. 1 main branches can have how many sub branches and if sub branches also grow another branches what should we do?

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Can have as many as it is possible depending how big the branch is and how many nodes. You can continue pruning the subs or leave it as is.

[@susanlama2061]

Thanks 🙏

[@davisdeancellars1985]

I would love to purchase a SPK cutting or two…!!! Please let me know what I need to do to purchase Richard.

[@James_2022]

Hi Richard, Thank you for sharing. I do have a question on the optimal length to keep the 2nd branch (this is the one that branches off the main branch when the main branch is over the trellis. These 2nd main branches would hang over the trellis and keep growing. How far down is the optimal length to maintain?

[@rhysdehaan]

Is the yellow branches at the top of the first trellis normal? It looks really nice 👌💛🌱

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Yes, that variety is called “Worth Variegated”. They grow to have characteristics of both yellow and green in color. It’s a mutation in the gene.

Is it too late to tip my branches? 1) one-year-old branches of a mature NoID to encourage fruit for next year; and 2) on a young branch that has grown to 3 inches above my trellis (to encourage more branching)? I'm in San Diego, zone 10a, and autumn starts this weekend.
