Beautiful varieties of dragon fruits.

[@Jimmdk]

Something I admire about Richard is that he keeps finding content for only dragon fruit, it's crazy!!!

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Thank you! 😁

[@buganafarm]

Amazing set of varieties to taste...

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Thanks for watching

[@janhood1280]

Just watched you taste test the one from Australia! 😍I am in Sydney and can only buy the imported Vietnam white in the shops at $5.50 Australian dollars each! I am growing my own now (4 varieties) and I am so inspired by you guys! Richard I bought a cutting of one that the nursery just called "Red". I planted it 5 years ago and have 3 flushes per year and they are really yummy. I watch all your videos. You are amazing. Thankyou for everything that you post. I watch everything and learn so much from you!

Hi! Richard, what is the best variety to cross with Halley’s Comet? I tried 3 kinds of pollen from condor, Vietnamese white and physical graffiti. All of them turned into yellow.

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

I’ve been using Sugar Dragon as my go to pollen for a lot of my varieties with success.

[@DioRoseFarm-o7q]

Thanks! do you have an idea if what is possible reason why this 3 varieties that i used didn’t work to make fruit?

[@FullmoonEffects89]

Try using the amarillo 2 as a lime substitute.

Hi Richard, how can I get a plant of the sweet yellow dragon fruit, American beauty ,and Red Lavern i live in fortlauderdale Florida . I have a plant but the fruit is white. How much would all three cuttings cost. Thank you.

[@hollywoood1989]

what is that machine? that gives you a number? is it a acidity test or something?

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

It’s a refractometer to test brix score which is sugar content

[@lccm4112]

One question, even it is a self pollinated variety, do you hand pollinate it?

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

I don’t personally hand pollinate them unless I’m trying to cross pollinate.

[@beckyann777]

Did Ricardo hybridize any varieties?

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

He didn’t for this round

[@aarohanpokharel760]

So what are the best tasting varieties according to your experience

[@CA_Rock]

Which one did the group pick as the winner of the taste test?

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

The asunta 7 seedling was the winner. Highest brix and best tasting. It brix at 22.7%.

[@RogeAdv]

Weird way to cut a dragon fruit😬

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

How is it weird?

[@hollywoood1989]

30 versions and 3 are yellow haha😅, yellow is the sweetest though? every red one was dull tasting. But it was at a store and not fresh picked though. wish i was there to try as well

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

Nope. Not all yellow are super sweet. Store bought will almost always be dull tasting because they are harvested early. Dragon fruits doesn’t continue to ripen after being picked

[@MilagrosWinger]

Will they be viable to grow and bear fruits in Central Texas?

[@GraftingDragonFruit]

@MilagrosWinger Yes, it’s totally possible.
