Looking good Andreas. I see a little problem, though.... there is no "p" in Paul's surname. :) It's a common mistake and I even made it once!

Pine Island has Nursery it messed up also. Besides renaming many of Paul's creations they renamed the man as well! ;)

What's the craziest place you've ever heard of someone growing dragon fruit? Maybe Indiana? mine is getting ready to bloom. It's crawling up the side of the greenhouse wall, I'll have to move it or it will get too cold there this winter. I'll post a picture later. Also, I only have one flower on one variety. It does have a distinctive looking bud I think. Maybe someone can id this? I guess my chances of getting fruit are somewhere between slim and none, right?

I also had only seen them on big stakes, I didn't know they climb on their own naturally.

I have a few questions about caring for dragon fruit plants:

What is the typical part of the year (as in from what month to what month) that dragon fruit actively grow in Southern California (I'm San Fernando Valley area)?

What would be a good fertilizing regime for me to use with dragon fruit plants? I have Banana Fuel 20-5-30 and Gro More 20-20-20. My plants are still young, but are growing.

If (God forbid) I get a frost this winter and my plants are damaged by the frost, what do I do? Cut off all the dead parts?

Should I keep the soil moist during the off season, or let it dry out?

I was about to go out there when she called me and said that bird have attached her crop and she lost to many. This Saturday should be good again for her fruits. I will not be able to make it out there now because work has started to pick up. I would still like to get some fruits from her. I should ask her if she is selling cuttings, as I have a palce to grow them now I am seeking dragon fruit cuttings. :)

If you come to Titusville on any travels I'll make sure you get some of this...then you will have fruit!
