I'm from Trinidad and Tobago. My dragon fruit like this was ready by day 34 from blooming/pollination date. It was shaking, cracked and everything already. It tasted awesome and was pretty huge.
They were ripe. I gave two of them to my neighbour grannie and kept two to me, which one of them I've just ate. It was delicious. I have more three fruits, still green. Thank you so much, Richard.
I came here with a question, it was answered within the first two minutes. I stayed for the content and the thirst for more. Great tips, I'll look like a pro in front of my fam and friends.
Just had my first flower tonight after one year. I hand pollinated and going to wait 46 days now. I planted 4 plants in my pot all the same red flesh variety and noticed today I have over 25 buds total so excited. First time growing these I am enjoying it very much, thanks for all your help in teaching me how to.
3 years ago, my husband clipped off a piece of a dragonfruit plant that was in the backyard of where we had just moved to. We are just getting our first fruit now. It's in such a teeny pot, i can't believe it actually grew something! Once this fruit is plucked we will be propogating more clippings into larger pots,, now that we know what to actually do with it! Thanx for the great info!
I absolutely love all your tips !!! One thing about your dragon fruits is , you keep them clean and their all healthy looking ... I have watched other owners of their dragon fruits , some of theirs is like skinny long and not producing or not looking healthy at all ... But you keep yours organized and and clean and you gives more tips more than other owners does ..... Keep up the good work and I can’t wait to plant some one day ?!?! 👌⭐️👍🥰
I love to look at all your dragon fruits & dragon plants. It's so green and healthy. I have never thought I would grow any dragon fruit until I'd watched your videos three months ago. Now, my cutting has rooted, but has not grow in height yet. I'm excited to see all your plants doing so well. I hope my cutting will grow soon so I can put in the 20 gallons pot like your's. Thank you for inspiring us all to start our dragon fruits plant.
Your video was extremely helpful. Thank you so much I planted cuttings that my son gave me in May and I already have two dragon fruit on it. Can’t wait to harvest them. They should be ready any day now. Thank you for all your info.
Greetings 👋 from The Bahamas 🇧🇸 Hello 👋 Richard and thank you very much for loading this video and giving me tips on how and when to harvest my “Dragon Fruit”. It was very helpful. Keep up the good work! Shalom 👍🏾😊😉🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸🇧🇸❤️
Thank you for taking the time to teach us. Im about to harvest. I have 11 varieties but 6 are mature. But 7 are bearing. I was thinking that i would be disappointed but then BOOM.....i have sooo many new little buds. Screamingggggg.
Thank🙏🏽 You so much for your brilliant 'Vid'!🤩! The best descriptive explanation ever!!😊. I am trying my first 'Dragonfruit' today(as a treat for a horrid job I have to do!). I've never been so excited at trying something new; although it is very (very!) expensive, (£4:00 in UK)I have seen how much work goes into the production of this fruit, so I am not complaining!😏! H🫂GS to you from a 'Virgin Slurper of Dragonfruit'...'cus I'm salivating already!!😆.
What a great channel and what a concise tutorial on the different ways to identify a dragon fruit that's ready to harvest. I'm a dragon fruit enthusiast and have one cactus which has a yield of 12 fruits. Some haven't made it to full size and I wasn't sure when to harvest them. Now I am. Great video and thank you Richard for sharing your knowledge. Now a subscriber. :)
Hi Richard Have been watching your videos since last year and they have helped me being a novice. Had no idea how to grow or even how many varieties there were. Got my first dragon fruit ready to be picked. So exciting. 😍. I am not sure if you have mentioned the cutters you use to cut off the dragon fruits. Could you please say what they are so I can buy it. Thanks. 🙏🏻
Richard Le !!! I just got to see this AND MY CHOICE that i would like for you to do IS SHARE THAT FRUIT WITH ME!!!"😋😂😋🤣 Do you deliver ? 😂🤣😂Enjoy gut !!!
I have been trying to get fruit from my dragonfruit plant for 7-8 years now! I guess i should have watched your videos sooner! But i now have my first ever pink dragonfruit, but wasnt sure when to pick it! Its only day 35, but it passes all your other tests, so, thank you! My plant only produced 1 fruit! So, i was worried about picking it too soon and ruining the only fruit i have!! Also, I live in Australia, and its been very hot for quite a while, this is the end of summer for us. Im guessing the heat maybe ripened it quicker?! Anyway, thank you! Now, to eat!!
My 1st American Beauty fruit bloomed October 7th but is just now in Jan starting to turn red! I’m in Oklahoma. Climate differences? Moved the plant to a grow light in the garage at the end of October.
Hi Richard, love your work, please let us know how do people grow many dragon fruit on one branch as seen displayed like a Xmas tree....perhaps they graft multiple nodes? Thank you, Joe from WA
Thank you for your tips. After two years my dragon fruit finally bear fruits. I saw 6 fruits on the tree but didn’t know when to pick it. How do I get my tree to produce many fruits?
Thanks for the great tips Richard. How come my dragon fruits (red jaina type I think) produced not sweet especially the first picked? Any tips regarding watering or before the harvest? Greatly appreciated.
Hand pollinate with pollen from another dragon fruit plants. Chat to someone in your Nextdoor app and see if someone will share the pollen. I’ve done it and have 30 fruits now.
Hello ♡ i am super interested in dragon fruit plants , mainly for grafing purposes but im ganing interest in the dragon feuits themself haha ♡ super videos ! i am going to try to find a fruit to collect seeds (im in belgium, europe)
That dragon fruit plant is so beautiful. I tried dragon fruit once because it was so pretty and i was curious, LOL, it was white on the inside and kinda bland. Now i realize I ate it unripe 🙄 Oh well, Ill eventually try a ripe one.
one of my plants has so many blooms this year im so excited. last year i had 3 fruits each from 2 of my plants. my question is after fruiting is all done theres nasty black scaring on that branch where the fruit was should i trim that branch or just leave it. the white dragon fruit is not really doing anything but making more branches, its so far behind my red DF is there anything i can do to encourage my white to bloom.
Hi, I'm Fajar from Indonesia. Nice to watch your video. Btw, may you share with me how to to cure dragon fruit diseases. Your plant very nice to look, clean from all of diseases, my plant all full of pest and fungi. Best regards
How far apart are your pots? They look like about 6 feet apart. I am planning my DF "garden" and am looking at dimensions. Also it look in this video like you have had to add some 2x4 vertical supports to your trellises. Are there any modifications to your original "Trellis #1 & #2" videos you recommend? Love your videos!!! I have learned a ton of useful information and will soon be harvesting my first fruit after 3 years!!

Hi from Trinidad my fruit hasn't passed the shake test, but its red, no cracking but its at day 39, gonna wait till day 46
Hi! How did it come out? Was it sweet?
Would love the dragon fruit lemonade reciepe please
Hi Richard. love watching your videos about dragon fruit Thank you. I was wondering if you can eat the skin?
No you cannot eat the skin. They're like a banana, orange, etc. Their skin isnt meant to be eaten or at least favor to be eaten
Beautiful 😍
Hi Richard, love your work, please let us know how do people grow many dragon fruit on one branch as seen displayed like a Xmas tree....perhaps they graft multiple nodes? Thank you, Joe from WA
You eat it immediately man😂👍👌👏👏👏
Taste test!! I want to see the inside please 🙂 love your videos
Dragon fruit plant is unique and it is my most favourite plant .
What about brown discoloration inside the dragonfruit safe to eat ?
video của bạn rất tuyệt vời❤❤❤
Cam on 😊
I would give a taste test first. anyways thank you very much can't wait to taste my dragon fruit
So the scale/leaves turning back and brown have nothing to do with friends??
Mahalo! Very helpful!
I have no idea what variety my dragon is. But since today is 41st day from pollination ... I'm going to check them right now.
Really cool videos all
Thank you for your tips. After two years my dragon fruit finally bear fruits. I saw 6 fruits on the tree but didn’t know when to pick it. How do I get my tree to produce many fruits?
Great vid. Mahalo!
Thanks for the great tips Richard. How come my dragon fruits (red jaina type I think) produced not sweet especially the first picked? Any tips regarding watering or before the harvest? Greatly appreciated.
How many days can be stacked the harvested dragon fuit?
How do you pollinate
will the dragon fruit always crack? my first 3 fruits have meet the shake, firmness, and color at 36 day, but no crack at all
How to pollinate dragon fruits thanks
how do u take care of ur dragon fruit during winter
sir what size of pot we should use to plant it .
What does it mean when there are roots like growing on the side of the branch, they're not growing at the tip of the branch
Just means they’re growing. Nothing of concern
My dragon fruit tree been giving flowers and pollinate them but the flower turn all yellow everytime😢 what should I do?
Same to me
Hand pollinate with pollen from another dragon fruit plants. Chat to someone in your Nextdoor app and see if someone will share the pollen. I’ve done it and have 30 fruits now.
Your dragon fruit is most likely self sterile. So you need a different variety of dragon to pollinate your dragon fruit
If i picked one to early will it still ripe
What brand cutters are those?
Thanks!
How many verities in the world ? till now.
Dragon shake❤
What about if u buy it from the market???
what soil do you use?
Do u cover it with plastic?
I'm interested in growing something like this. Dallas Texas is where I live and I'm getting tired of purchasing fruit from Walmart.
Hello ♡ i am super interested in dragon fruit plants , mainly for grafing purposes but im ganing interest in the dragon feuits themself haha ♡ super videos ! i am going to try to find a fruit to collect seeds (im in belgium, europe)
Should we cut off fruits that turn yellow to allow the others to mature and grow?
How do l know if it is pollinated or not
Hi please do the testing challenge❤❤❤
That dragon fruit plant is so beautiful. I tried dragon fruit once because it was so pretty and i was curious, LOL, it was white on the inside and kinda bland. Now i realize I ate it unripe 🙄 Oh well, Ill eventually try a ripe one.
Red ones are usually the sweetest!
Taste test! 😍
one of my plants has so many blooms this year im so excited. last year i had 3 fruits each from 2 of my plants. my question is after fruiting is all done theres nasty black scaring on that branch where the fruit was should i trim that branch or just leave it.
the white dragon fruit is not really doing anything but making more branches, its so far behind my red DF is there anything i can do to encourage my white to bloom.
Those either might be infections or a callus forming
If you had to pick 5 DF plants only which ones would they be? big fan of you...
Hey I'm currently having trouble with the pots I'm using. Could I get the information and dimensions for what pots you used and where you got them?
15 or 20 gallon for me I have, I have planted 2 in each pot. 25 gallon you can plant 4
Hi, I'm Fajar from Indonesia. Nice to watch your video. Btw, may you share with me how to to cure dragon fruit diseases. Your plant very nice to look, clean from all of diseases, my plant all full of pest and fungi.
Best regards
How long will the fruit last after it is picked??
How far apart are your pots? They look like about 6 feet apart. I am planning my DF "garden" and am looking at dimensions. Also it look in this video like you have had to add some 2x4 vertical supports to your trellises. Are there any modifications to your original "Trellis #1 & #2" videos you recommend?

Do you give out free dragonfruit cuttings
