I like the concrete supports, and thought about making my own but decided instead to try making them out of ABS pipe. Wood only lasts 4-5 years in my yard before rotting out or getting eaten by termites so that was out. I drew up a few designs, and settled on this one - 4" ABS main support with 1 1/2" top supports. In order for it to handle the weight (eventually) I cross drilled the top with a 1 1/2" conduit hole cutter and trimmed down a PVC cross to fit. Everything glued together perfectly and appears quite strong. I wrapped the main post in four wraps of burlap using self tapping screws. I'll be wrapping the top supports also to protect it from UV damage.Wasnt as creative as you but i tried before knowing anything about how setup was, survived hurricane Irma though
I got these cuttings from Simon a year and a half ago, and they have barely grown since - they really did not like the shaded sandy location they were in and needed a move. Time will tell and we shall see...
I have wood post rotting issues in my yard as well, so I built these from 4" and 1 1/2" ABS pipe. Cross drilled with a 1 1/2" conduit hole saw and cut down a 1 1/2" PVC cross to fit inside for added support. Very sturdy and should last a long time.I Like that idea, wonder if if could hold up for long term with wind?
Hey guys, I'm looking for the biggest white flesh variety there is out there which is self pollinating. Taste, flavour or other factors doesn't matter. I'm in just for the size. Need the variety name which sets the biggest fruit size wise.
Thanks!
Vietnamese Giant?
Just Remember your in Italy he is in California, Im in Florida, different places have different requirements for same plant
Someone told me to keep them dry until flowering in late may/june.
Not good advice in my opinion.
I'm a newbie, what is a good advice according your experience?
TY RicshawAnyone think it possible that piece off dragonfruit will grow
Yes, possible.
So I ate the last two of this fruit and saved seeds. It tasted better than any other dragon fruit I have had. Considering I have not had any premium dragon fruit, this might mean precious little.
I germinated a few and have a whole lot more left.
Anyone interested in some I will be glad to share.
I understand it might take a very long time to get fruit from seed and folks would rather have cuttings. Well I have no cuttings yet and will not for many moons. So seed it is this go around.
By the way, this is not a business I just have seeds from a fruit I liked and that I would be happy to share. I may make you pay for shipping.
If you know there are restrictions to shipping seeds to your location please
