Re: Dragon Fruit
Quote:
Seedlings of Dragon Fruit do not come true-to-cultivar unless (1) it is a species, not a hybrid; and (2) it is pollinated in complete isolation from other varieties. If #1 and #2 are not followed, then the fruit of the seedlings will vary in taste from somewhat similar to completely different from the parent(s).

Re: Dragon Fruit
I took the one new branch off my Roger Meyer cutting to root into another plant for someone else, but just a few days ago I noticed it's starting to grow again!

Re: Dragon Fruit
Anyone growing Peruvian Apple, a pitahaya sometimes sold as an ornamental plant - and also considered a noxious weed in Hawaii?
In biological nomenclature, it is in the tribe Cereeae with the Linnean name Cereus hildmannianus subsp. uruguayanus. It is also sold under the synonym Cereus peruvianus. Note that the fruit is truly the size of an apple. Other varieties and subspecies of Cereus hildmannianus produce smaller, less-edible fruits. Here's a picture someone posted on Flickr.

Re: Dragon Fruit
Richard, that's one I'm considering giving a try, though I'm not sure it will tolerate my winters.

Re: Dragon Fruit
My only flower bloomed Sept 23 & gave me a fruit. I think it's ready to pick... it has a small split on it.
I'm sure it woulda ripened sooner, but it gets to 50* at night & only up to 60* in day.

Re: Dragon Fruit
Thanks Cassie I waited5-6 yrs for a fruit! I ate it just after Tony wrote to pick it & vI gotta say it was very bland...no taste. I took some pics but will post later. It looked discolored inside.... a greyish color instead of white.

Re: Dragon Fruit
It's important to get a good tasting cultivar.
