Hello Carlos,

Simon
-
do you happen to have a pic of the cut fruit?
-
thanks for posting.
-
Hi Carlos,
I just send payment for 12 seeds.
Thanks,
Richard
-
PM sent. thanks.
-
All orders have been shipped between yesterday and today. Congratulations and thank you again.
-
Hi, I just send payment for 12 seeds..
Thanks.
-
That looks like the ecuador wild variety.Thee is a big form of the standard yellow megalanthus that is becoming more frequent in the markets here lately. The fruit sell for a fortune.
-
These are from Peru and are sold and exported exclusively to Europe and Asia and do sell for a fortune. They are even expensive in Peru so you will not find these at any of the thousands of corner markets in Peru. They literally have to be ordered at a premium price. They are the sweetest Dragon fruit that I have ever tasted and I've tasted over 45 varieties.
-
Do you have any more seeds available? Thanks.
-
Seeds are still available. Just send me a pm.
-
Can u confirm if my seeds were sent? Haven't received yet. Thanks!
-
Yes, they were shipped. At the latest should be Saturday. If not pm me and I'll get them out to you again right away. Thanx again
-
How long these DF seeds remain viable and average time frame to sprout?
-
Yes, they were shipped. At the latest should be Saturday. If not pm me and I'll get them out to you again right away. Thanx again
thanks will check and let you know if there's nothing on saturday.
-
How long these DF seeds remain viable and average time frame to sprout?
Not sure about the megalanthus, but undatus seeds keep for at least a year with very good germination rate.
-
If kept in a cool dry location away from heat they can keep viable for up to a year. Germination rate is extremely high and germinate within 2 weeks if sowed in a moist soil or quicker using other techniques.
-
Hi, checked my po box today and there was nothing. I'll private msg u to confirm address.
-
If not received by Monday please let me know.
-
Mine turned up yesterday already germinated. Thanks very much Carlos.
Don.
-
Mine turned up yesterday already germinated. Thanks very much Carlos.
Don.
nice.
I kind of wonder if my package got held up b/c of the pre-thanksgiving, pre-Christmas rush. ugh.
-
@dragonfruit101, went to post office box and nothing was in there from you. i'll pm to confirm mailing address.
-
@ Palolo. PM sent.
@ Don. Hope you are happy. Should have some extra seeds in there. They actually germinate easier than any other dragon fruit and grow fast from my experience.
-
Too was mate thank you very much for the extras. Take care mate.
-
Yes, thank you. I just mine yesterday. There are more than 20 seeds per pack. ;D
-
New shipment will be there on Friday. Happy Thanksgiving everybody and let's get those seeds going.
-
today in the mail nothing either. I wonder what happened to that first shipment. oh well. thanks for resending with the tracking number. this time there's no excuse USPS!
-
How long are the seeds viable?
-
received my seeds very quickly...a day, maybe 2 from when I ordered (obviously won't be that speedy if traveling to other states). Thanks, DF101!
-
Seeds are viable for up to a year under ideal conditions. Kept in a dry location out of direct sunlight.
Thanks Gunnar. Hope you and everyone else are pleased. Any issues or questions just pm and I will make sure to take care of you. The USPS can be a little unreliable this time of year. But it is the holiday season and they have a lot on their plate. Thank you everyone and have a Happy Thanksgiving with your families.
Seeds still available.
-
Got the package today! Thanks! Nicely packed and ,a halo for extra seeds!
-
@ Palolo. You're very welcome. Sorry for any in convenience. Around this time the post office is nuts and overwhelmed so all orders from this past week went out today and will make their destinations by thurs. at the latest. Tracking #s have been sent to those whom it applies. Thanks again everyone . Seeds still available.
-
Got mine in a few days ! Thank You
Excited to get these going
-
Received, planted and so far about 30 of the 24 I ordered have germinated, still a number to go. Thanks
Rob
-
91 weather for Northern Coast Australia.. wow, no wonder you can germinate them now.. I need to put them under some heat too then.. how long do the seeds usually take to germinate? I put them in the pot about a day or two after Thanksgiving.. nothing yet though :(

Me too. No luck on mine so far. I think I potted them on 11/12. Starting to lose some hope on them.
-
haha, so let's just put mine at 11/26.. that's still two weeks after you.. I think our weather isn't warm enough to germinate.. need to put it near a heater or something? I'll wait some more before trying again.. thanks for your update.
-
I did mine on moist paper towel in a ziplock baggie in a warm dark place, then transfer them into a disposable lidded parfait cup. So yes, warm and humid. When I need to germinate stuff in the winter here usually the top of the fridge or the computer cabinet will do the trick

Dang.....I want some of those ;D

so far so good. maybe several days after receiving the package, they popped up!
-
Nice, great work. You are 1 of 2 people in Hawaii growing them.
-
Nice work rob, I think mine all died. Never tried growing cacti from seed so maybe left them dry a tad.
-
The seeds I got germinate fine. I used the classic ziploc bag resting on a warm surface. They took 12 days to germinate and 4 days to emerge from the soil after planting.
Here is a photo from just now.

Don, you are welcome to take a few. Flowers buds forming on quite a few of the df that went on the trellis over winter.
Rob
-
Thanks Rob. Your ones you gave me are doing well also.
-
Hi, can I get some plants from someone once they come out? My seeds still hasn't come out yet unfortunately.. :( Thanks.
-
I got 4-5 starting to show from the seeds I received. Once mine get a few weeks older I'd be happy to send one of my extras
-
Agh I found one!! I thought they all died but I was scratching through the pot and thought there was a grub eating the seeds but it was one dragon fruit seedling. Either that or now I have a very pampered grub.. Haha! They are an odd looking sprout.
-
Hi,
Does anyone have any sprouters available? (even you, Dragonfruit101).. unfortunately, other things are trying to come out.. I'll take a picture tonight and let you guys analyze.. they sure don't look like the ones you have.. thanks. ;D
-
I'm looking for a couple sprouts as well.
-
What are the odds of these coming true from seed? Anyone know?

According to DF101, the fruit come true to seed.

Half the seeds I received were pulverized by the postal service but the ones that were intact sprouted in one week with bottom heat at ~95F. The first year of growth is agonizingly slow so I have plans to graft these seedlings onto vigorous established Undatus rootstock.

I thought I saw that there before, but I overlooked it when I went back to reference the original post ;D.

Yea mine came mostly smashed up too, the funny thing is the pile of smashed up/moldy seeds that I potted were the first to sprout. Good thing I didn't throw them out like I almost did.
-
November 11, 2015 payment has never received the seed please check reason thank
-
Nice, great work. You are 1 of 2 people in Hawaii growing them.
1 of 2? who's the other? ;)
out of curiosity, do you have more seeds?
-
It took me over a month but i have 7 healthy little ones in pots eating up the T5 lighting. It took quite awhile for these to sprout and actually grow, but they are doing awesome now. If anyone is interested in one I'll trade of a large Purple Haze Dragon Fruit Plant.
PM Me to Trade

Mine also took a while to sprout. Keeping them in filtered light in the florida room.

oh thanks for the pictures so I can verify.. yeah, I have one of those coming out I think... finally! and a whole bunch of other stuff too..
-
Well, just wanna say thanks for the Seeds. I germinated 3 out of 4 after 2-3 days. Germinated so fast using paper towel method and a little heat. Gonna probably try the rest in potting mix instead just to see how it goes. Thanks again.
-
Anyone have an extra giant yellow seedling to sell or trade? I have a green when ripe dragon fruit that I could trade a cutting of if interested. It is by far the sweetest dragon fruit that I have eaten.

Wow that's really fast. I noticed some of them did sprout really fast and some of them take a really long time. I would suggest to anyone that planted the giant yellow megalanthus seeds to wait several months before giving up on these seeds. I'm still getting more sprouting, and I expect a lot more will sprout.

Sounds interesting. Does it have any balance, or just sweet like sapodilla or ivory mango?

Well it's still a dragon fruit. Not close to even resembling the level of sweetness of any mango or sapodilla. Just has a nice flavor that is different from the almost tasteless other varieties that I have tried.

Well that could explain why one didn't yet. Certainly wasn't expecting them to germinate as fast as they did but no complaints here. Either way, I've been wanting some giant yellow megalanthus plants for awhile and now I just gotta wait a few years.
-
does this look like one of them? only one sprouted and looked like this.. thanks

-
That's something else. dragonfruit seeds are black. megalanthus seeds are larger than undatus but they're the same shape.
-
Actually. It is not something else. The dragon fruit seed itself is not black. It has a black membrane around the actual seed which loosens up as the seed dries out exposing the actual seed. Don't worry that is an actual giant yellow megalanthus sprout in your picture.
-
November 11, 2015 payment has never received the seed, please check the reason thank you
-
here's another update.. looks to be the only one though. Can someone help verify? Thank you.

This is definately NOT a dragon fruit seedling! As dragon fruits grow on cacti, the plants don't have leaves. Here are my dragon fruit seedlings to confirm:
(http://s9.postimg.cc/85njx0ocr/Pflanzen_Aug_2015_160.jpg) (http://postimg.cc/image/85njx0ocr/)
Seeds of dragon fruits can take weeks to sprout, so they might come up for you :)
-
ok thank you.. I thought it didn't look right.. mine has "spines", but they look way different than yours..
-
Anyone have an extra seedling for sale? None of mine ever sprouted.
-
I have one extra that just sprouted
