I don't know the variety beyond "red dragonfruit" sold at home depot.
What feel should I be looking for? I enjoy a crispy dragonfruit.
It has turned a dark, rich red and is quite large. How do I know when to pluck it?
Currently have Haileys Comet, White Vietnamese, 3 Diferent type of Yellow Dragon fruit, Kathie Van Arum, waiting to order Frankies Red and maybe Asunta
David Bowie -previously out of stock but been duplicating so should have plenty next year spring 2018Slow grower, but taste? what i read is a great taste. haven't tried. thanks. i also read stuff shortly about Asunta DF, But not much info where to get. just a couple of youtube videos of Edgar Valdivia. Thanks for input
Oh boy, if it aint Chris from Growquest, hah! That video was shot in 2013. I wonder if he's out of jail yet, or still living considering how many he's ripped off?
Also, it's Hass aka H-ASS, not Hoz!
not sure. I have a couple at home which I can take a picture of when we get back. dragon identification is not my forte.
Here is what Whole Foods is selling:

that seems to be what we're getting in the local Whole Foods. Not super sweet, but a pleasant sweetness. The seeds are much more pronounced than other varieties, but I like them. Gives a little extra complexity.
On ebay. For example this seller

I don't know if there are cheaper offers
Not all Yellow Selenicereus Megalanthus is the same.
The current rage is the Giant Yellow Megalanthus from Ecuador.
If I was going to bother to grow yellow Megalanthus from seed... I would try and get Giant Yellow Megalanthus seeds (rare).
What's the sweet yellow one that everyone raves about? And does it fruit in Florida? And is there a source anywhere for a cutting or two?
My lawn guys, in their infinite wisdom, decided to weed whack one of my dragons at the very base and killed it before I noticed.

Can anyone confirm if this is a purple haze cutting?
Thanks!
Hey Ric, how do you rate the fruit of the Delight? I had only one spot left to plant and had to choose between Delight, Purple Haze and Physical Graffiti. I planted the Delight but still have the other two. Any thoughts?
Hey guys,
Iv'e been trying to grow df from cuttings, with undesirable results (slowww growth). I am unimpressed with grocery store fruits and would like to grow/try the less common cultivars. I can hardly get them to grow in cooler temperatures, and they seem to only like unfiltered sunlight, which I can only get in warm/hot months (since I live in Ohio). I can't tell if it's just inadequate lighting that is the issue, or maybe the soil or feeding regimen. Does anyone in cooler regions use supplemental lighting? If so, how is it working out for you?
Thanks in advance!
I have several Delight cuttings you can have.
Hi Ric, was this offer directed towards me?
I found cuttings of hylocereus ocamponis,What about the fruit?is the same of the "red undatus"?how hardy it is?
Can anyone recommend a good way to acidify potting soil?
I have a 3 foot long rooted cutting from a friend here, just transplanted it fron a ploy to the arbor, I read somewhere they like less water than the other varieties.
This is what I got from growing the yellow dragon fruit from seeds after 4 years. The fruit that I got from a yellow dragon fruit seedling is red inside and outside. Completely different fruit than the one I got seeds from a yellow dragon fruit in previous posts. Why?
Plant is self fertility. No hand pollination is needed. Plant does very well both in pot and in ground.
