Nice looking plants Socal! There are several fruit festivals here in South Florida throughout the year. I think there is one this weekend at Botanical Gardens. They hold a mango festival once a year during mango season. I am now picking several mangos off my trees, so I assume the festival is this weekend or next. I haven't checked though, so it may have passed already.

The fruit & spice park in the Redlands also has several shows throughout the year. They sell plants, fruit, and hold several classes on pretty much anything gardening.

Hope you guys don't mind, but also wanted to remind everyone that I'm selling 'American Beauty' Dragon Fruit cuttings. It is a self fertile variety that is also known as 'Quang Ong Self Fertile'. $12 to anywhere in the continental United States ..WOW, I had put size 6 for it to stand out and it was HUGE!! LOL Sry if anyone had to see that!

I recently was lucky enough to try some fruit from the mother plant, they are excellent! My personal favorite.. although 'David Bowie' is a CLOSE second.

Congrats Ante! It looks like you may have a winner! The growth looks a little skinny(and has bigger spines) compared to mine, maybe it is time to fertilize? I use a water soluble fertilizer(20-20-20). I am no expert though.. It could just be the different climate. As long as it is green, you are good to go from what I understand. If it looks a little yellow, it definitely needs fert. Experts, please feel free to chime in if I'm wrong.
