Sounds like you own most of the state. With all of that I can't see how you have time to post pics. Good luck and welcome from central Florida.

Is your name Brent or do you know a Brent in LA that grows dragon fruit? If you're not Brent, what varieties are you growing there and how do you protect them?

Welcome to "the org"!

That's incredible! I actually got what I'm hoping is a Dwarf Orinoco sucker a few months ago, so you'd be the perfect person to get some advice from. Do they have any special or notable management requirements different from other bananas, and how do they usually perform?

Thanks in advance, and congratulations for being in the banana growing scene for so long!

The Orinoco's are very vigorous here getting at least 5 to 10 pups in each mat every year almost weedy like. I recently cut one mat to the ground 3 weeks layer I counted 17 plants coming up! They are not the dwarf variety.

That's great! I'm not sure whether you live in a frost-free climate or not but as I don't I'm expecting mine to do really well throughout the year, and that's some insane puppage! I'm really hoping mine is a DO. How long do your Orinocos usually take to flower from pups?
