Mark that was really fast, Did you used spagnum moss or potting soil? Because I will be air layering my 2 longan trees using special potting soil this time once I will harvest the fruits in a week.

Philippines rains a lot so they have to drill holes on those old tires due to the nasty dengue fever transmitted from mosquito bites.

Reading all this and realizing that my Dragon Fruit planted from seed was moving along very slowly prompted me to risk a few dollars and buy a pink Dragon Fruit cutting on ebay.
Wish me luck.

JeffDM why not buy it to MattsLandscape, He is a real deal

Simon I gave you rooted cutting last September 2013 hehehe If you only took care of it you should tasted Sugar DF now. I took brix reading of 19.2 from 0-32 brix last September 13, 2014. Sorry no photo taken yet.
It fruited 4 times this year and It has 2 green fruits right now due 1 month from now and that is the last cycle this year.
Richard (Ricshaw) is right, this came from Paul T according to Linda

Subject: Thompson (S-8) Dragon fruit

If you live in San Diego, you don't want to bother about shipping.  We have lovely dragon fruit plants for sale here--just up I-15 in beautiful Fallbrook.  We also have a great selection of other delicious varieties.  Our S-8 came directly from Paul Thomson, who we knew personally.  It is different from the S-8 you'll get from many others.  We don't know why the difference, but I was asked to make a presentation at the 2012 Pitahaya Festival at UC Irving and explained that, due to a couple of major differences, we have decided to name our cultivar Sugar Dragon to avoid further confusion.  We brought 10 lbs of fruit to the festival for tasting.  Ramero cut up about 12 different Research Station varieties, plus our Sugar Dragon, and offered them for tasting.  Everyone present (and there were a lot of people in attendance!) agreed that our Sugar Dragon was the sweetest and best tasting they had ever had.  It is also self fertile--a real plus.  And because it is of a totally different parentage from the majority of red fleshed (and white for that matter) fruit, it is a Universal Pollinator.  To top that off, it is the earliest to bloom, producing pollen for all the other varieties as they start blooming, and the last to stop blooming.  In fact, we have Sugar Dragons still ripening on our vines now, and had enough to sell yesterday!  It is also one of the most productive of all varieties.  What more can we ask? 
        We have nice, staked plants in a variety of sizes and prices, starting at $15, and many of the best tasting varieties.  Many of our plants will produce fruit this year.  So your best bet is to visit and see what you would like.  It is also pruning time so we can offer some nice cuttings for sale if you don't mind waiting 2-3 years for fruit from cuttings.  We charge $5 ea. for cuttings.  We also have a wealth of info we are happy to share with you on successfully growing Dragon Fruit.  We are retired and live on our nursery, so we're home most of the time, but please let us know when you are coming so we can give you directions.  I'm attaching info on the most popular varieties we have and a price list.  We have several additional varieties that will be available later this year.  Thanks so much for contacting us.

Yoni, MCRD isnt too far form me on the 5 during my commute...Did they any others liek El Bumpo??? Also is it safe to grab a seedling? I'd hate to grab a seedling and it literally turned into a whole another type of Cherimoya?

Clay,
you're planting it in your front yard so my suggestion is go for grafted cherimoyas so it will not grow to a giant trees in years to come.

Clay,

I've seen Honeyhart and Booth about the size of your Pierce in Walter Andersen Nursery close by MCRD and Post office 3 days ago but those were seedlings runs $99.

I got my oro negro July 2012 from TT, I noticed it's a slow grower. It's 4" tall growing more horizontally than vertically too and first year that it flowers. Looks like it has a dwarf growth habit good for pot.

.I've got another 2 month RIMPAC this summer starting in June...

Clay,
Buy fruit trees in Hawaii when you fall-in in Pearl Harbor during RIMPAC. Talk to fruitlovers he might hook you up with good fruit trees from Hawaii.
