My Dragon Fruit Cacti in Arizona (Pics)
Comments (18)Thanks for the pics Grant, your dragon fruit is interesting, doesn't look quite like a regular hylocereus undatus (flower is very different). I wonder what the heck it is! At least it is giving you fruit! I've been growing them for several years now and not a single fruit. I can't seem to get them to bloom at a time where I can cross polinate them, come to think of it they don't bloom buch at all. I have one called Haley's Comet that will bloom tomorrow night, but nothing else to polinate it with and I've tried many times to get it to polinate itself, it does not cooperate. I've fertilized mine several times this year with a super bloom type fertilizer, but I don't see that's it's done much good. Maybe we'll get more blooms as it cools down.

Comments (3)I have dragon fruit cuttings I would share/trade. Not sure of variety, my son bought it for me and now I have tons - although hasn't fruited yet. I haven't done a trade on gw yet, so not sure if it's any different than other garden sites. I'm in the Ft Myers area. Nancy...See MoreMy Pitaya (Dragon Fruit) in SoCal
Comments (25)Its coming along great Tuan. I can see its going to have a nice paver patio around it. One of the tropicals that gives good returns are the Guava's. As always,Mango tree's also. Cherimoyas. White Sapote- but thats a full blown tree and I cant promise you would love it. I do..but some can't take the custard texture. Persimmons in fall give a lot of fruit. I'm waiting to endorse banana's. For you Papaya's should be easy. I hear Thai "Red" is a heavy producer along with the common Solo. Anyways- nice Pitaya set up....See MoreMy dragon fruit finally fruited!!!
Comments (18)Hi Ch3rri, Feel so happy for you. Especially after spending so much time and taking so much space. That's the reason I gave up growing dragon fruit. I have limited space. Most of my plants this year gets too big. When you move them into basement, are they getting any light at all? BTW, where did you get your Chinese Jujube plant? There is no way I could locate a jujube tree at Canada. Thanks YT...See Morecactusmcharris, interior BC Z4/5
