New Dragon Fruit Hybrid “Ecuador Palora x Connie Mayer” Fruit Successfully Took
Hi dragon fruit world, I am excited to release a video of my latest dragon fruit hybrid project. Big thanks to Edgar Valdivia for calling me up and encouraging me to create this hybrid with a cross between Ecuador Palora and Connie Mayer. Special thanks as well to Alik Shulman for donating the one and only last Connie Mayer flower for this project. Although both flowers didn’t fully open due to the cold weather, I am thrilled to see that the fruit took, and Palora accepted the Connie Mayer pollen - you never know, but sometimes you just have to try! Enjoy the video, and follow along as I have more exciting new hybrids coming. Happy growing, cheers! #dragonfruit #pitaya #pitahaya #superfood #antioxidants

    • @leewifarms
      @leewifarms Місяць тому

      I probably should, but I covered the flower to prevent any external factors (like wind or bees) from introducing anything other than the orange epi pollen that I put in to the stigma. We'll see!

    • @harmonysdragons2610
      @harmonysdragons2610 Місяць тому

      @leewifarms but you didn't collect Cindy Beauty pollen, so it could still pollinate itself. You won't know for sure if it set fruit with epi pollen or it's own pollen until after you finally get fruit from the seedling. When I cross pollinate the self fertile ones to create hybrid, I always cut the anthers off before the flower opens. That way, the pollen is still attached to the anthers. I'll also remove the petals and just leave the stigma. Then pollinate and bag it with the mesh bag. Keep us posted on your result.
