Many of the varieties Pine Island is growing came from California and they just re-named them. Looking at the links (file name) for some of the photos reveals the original name/source. Several are Paul Thomson varieties and one is a variety from Quang Ong. I think posted some of the synonyms earlier in this thread.

Tony, your yellow dragonfruit looks like it is coming along well. You've had to be patient waiting for that! I've got a plant also and they only way I'll be able to get mature fruit is to keep it in my greenhouse or a tunnel.

Here's a very good page on cultivation of dragonfruit in Vietnam: http://trunghieufruits.com.vn/index....mid=59&lang=en

Here are the known synonyms (there are likely others, but just not confirmed):

Quote:
Some years ago I took a number of pitaya varieties to Florida and
gave them to several people there. Unfortunately many of them had
not been named and only had numbers such as most of Paul's
varieties. I realized recently that they were subsequently given
names and some are now being sold in nurseries as well under these
new names. So I contacted some of the people I gave varieties to
and the following is a list of what some of the varieties were
named. I thought you all might want to know since some of you may
have duplicates in your collections.

1S = Physical Graffiti
2S = Cosmic Charlie
5S = Purple Haze
9S = Dark Star
Quang Ong Self Fertile (QOSF) = American Beauty
Ben Poier H. poly. (BPHP) = Bloody Mary

I did take other varieties, but these are the ones I know for sure
were renamed.

Best regards,

Sven

The yellow was the last to flower last year.Other than slow ripening fruit it it grows faster than my other varieties.

New Dragon Fruit Trellis planted sparingly. Hopefully I can keep it trained this time.

Have you eaten any of those yet, Tony? I've not tasted one and am wondering if it's worth the work to grow the Yellow Colombian here. My plant is growing pretty good so far but don't think it is big enough to flower this year.
