[@technoraptor7778]

Ooh nice! This is a good video for first time dragonfruit growers.

[@pedromunoz4468]

Amazing Paul, love how you explain and show, Amazing to see your collection

[@RAREDRAGONFRUIT]

@2:26 Mistake! Hylocereus Ocamponis is Self-Sterile not Self Fertile, sorry for the mistake! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@passionfruiter3184]

Great video. Thanks for the tour

[@RAREDRAGONFRUIT]

A Charizard dragonfruit variety!.

[@RAREDRAGONFRUIT]

Haha

[@jackyeriddle4393]

Always been a problem for me to recognize the varieties from each other. This certainly helps. Many thanks.

[@RAREDRAGONFRUIT]

Thanks for watching

Thanks this really helps

Thanks for watching

[@abdallahsharadqah6751]

Wonderful video 👑👌💪🌵🌵🌵 Make more of such videos Maybe you can make a serial videos in which you speak about one group of varieties in each ... For example : Video about Hylocereus ocamponis Hylocereus megalanthus Hylocereus polyrhizus Hylocereus setaceus Hylocereus guatemalensis And others if there is any hylocereus more 🤗🤗🤗

[@RAREDRAGONFRUIT]

Good idea! Thank you

[@gaianeg7927]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Can you please tell me which dragon fruit is non-hybrid?

[@matprang4508]

That’s interesting. I thought white stuff was powdery mildew. Yes I won’t hit it with hydrogen peroxide lol.

[@Da_Kine808]

Hi Paul, great video. I’m confused about Tricia, I did some research saying it is self sterile, and on your video you mentioned it is self fertile? Could you please confirm. Thanks!

[@PatiencekAwake]

I’m so much interested in dragon fruits, I actually have four plants on my farm, I’m completely sure I imported four different dragon plants from Kenya but no one told me those names, I know purple, white yellow but those scientific names, I have no idea😂 and I would love to identify my plants

[@novastar369]

That last one looks identical to what I have.

[@RAREDRAGONFRUIT]

Nice

[@vrosi1963]

the Yellow dragon fruit from Costco is our favorite , and says grown in Florida

[@RAREDRAGONFRUIT]

Probable a Yellow Palora. Sweet fruit

[@pauhy5601]

Hey Paul,a suggestion on using the term horny to just thorny to be safe from KZbin censor runners?.

[@RAREDRAGONFRUIT]

Haha, it's a proper term. I care more about accuracy than views. But, I'll say it less to be safe, lol

[@user-bq5lt2rm5y]

I live in Barbados but I do not know the variety I have. I got it from a lady and she didnt know either. I hand pollinated three flowers but im not sure if it is self pollinating or self sterile so I might have to wait on next season to cross pollinate to bear fruit

[@RAREDRAGONFRUIT]

Hopefully it's self fertile. Try to cross pollenate whenever possible. Grow some Sugar Dragon or American Beauty to start and have a pollen source.

[@cloudm3169]

Paul 6:40 that is not a selenicereus setaceus, the whole Sugar Dragon family has nothing to do with the setaceus. The setaceus is particularly recognizable... Would you ever say that an American beauty is a selenicereus megalanthus? No, because they are very very different. The same thing goes for the setaceus: they have groups of very pronounced and thick spines (if I remember correctly, the Sugar Dragon family has only one spine like the Guatemalan ones); a branch shape very similar to megalanthus as well as the bud; the fruit has only white pulp.

[@RAREDRAGONFRUIT]

The selenicereus/ hylocereus setaceus umbrella is a horrible mix of plant characteristics that cover half of South America. The “community” considers these plants to be s. Setaceus for better or worse and market them as such. Look at spicy exotics version and other’s I’ve collected. They are very similar to the white flesh variants.

[@studyelectricalwithkrikan1226]

How to identity whether the plant is red flesh and white flesh dragon fruit from stem?

[@spaceoddessy1]

I just got two ginormous plants for free because the lady was giving them away.. I had a sneaking suspicion they had medicinal properties so I took them but I don't know what kind I have

[@pauhy5601]

@Rare Dragon Fruit,what's best way to root Equador Palora cuttings super fast in your opinion?. Curently i have four pieces in separate bucket containers.

[@RAREDRAGONFRUIT]

I like to use out heat house until October. A heating mat is another option. Keep if out of the direct sunlight.

[@Karzilla_Godzilla]

Tell which colour

[@spicebrowne2870]

Is a rocky soil the best to grow the dragon fruit i find they like to stick on walls and grow in the wild between rocks

[@RAREDRAGONFRUIT]

They like well draining soil for sure.

[@francus7227]

One question: Some oranges are undesirable "sour oranges." The same goes for apples. I live in Thailand. I have eaten many types of dragon fruit.... several different colors, tastes, and textures. All are delicious. But they don't sell "terrible" dragon fruits in the market. Are there "undesirable" bitter or sour strains? Or.... Are they all just different varieties of a great and tasty fruit???? I would hate to invest five years on a lame plant. Thanks. I hit the thumbs 👍 button to feed the algorithm monster.

[@RAREDRAGONFRUIT]

Thanks for watching. Some imported undatus are picked too early and quite sour. Best to grow your own in California or buy Palora fruits.

[@francus7227]

@@RAREDRAGONFRUIT Thank you.

[@ceaserelizondo]

Some are easy, but a lot aren't lol
