In this video, I went to Ventura County to meet up with Alik Shulman to take a tour of his dragon fruit farm named Shulman Dragon Fruit Orchard. He was so kind to take me around his dragon fruit orchard and also his gardens at home, where he also grew dragon fruits alongside his farm. We harvested all the dragon fruits that were available and it was so cool to see his operation and chatting it up with him. Found out he offers free tours for the public as well.

Hell yea please 🙏
Hope to see you visiting Oceanside Dragon Fruit Farm some day.
Do you know the asunta three of white flower, could you tell me that brix is enough and how is the fruit?
Thank you Richard for sharing Alik's orchard with us. I have received many varieties from Alik in the Rio Grande Valley, South Texas, where I lost all my collection to a severe cold front. I potted and rooted everyone of his cutting and now are over 6-7 feet tall and growing like weeds. Again Thank you Richard and Alik for all of the information you share with us all.
Thank you so much and appreciate your feedback.
You’re welcome
I'm in northern Texas. Trying to get some local cuttings, any recommendations?
Yes post more tours, I enjoyed the video. Thank you.
Will try to
Keep doing what your doing Richard people really appreciate that thanks
Thank you and will try my best 🙏🏼
very nice and beautiful. Thanks Richard for making available us to see these beautiful glimps ❤️❤️🙏🙏
It’s my pleasure 🙏🏼
The youtube algorithm blessed me today. Saw your Colab with Epic Gardening a few years ago and was absolutly in love with that video for weeks if not months😄Happy to see you still killin it with the Dragon fruits!🔥
Welcome to the channel! Thank you for the kind words 🙏🏼
Yes more tours. I'm beginning my dragon fruit growing and Richard I've learned alot from watching your videos
Thank you! Will try to do more
Good to see!!
Wow the Orchard looks great 😊 it’s come along way in a short time 😊
Thank you Kevin. We need more of such events. Makes us happy to see the progress of DF growers.
Was definitely a great one!
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome
Wow, amazing dragon fruit farm .😊
Love Alik’s QR code suggestion I’ll definitely run with that 🙌. fantastic! Great tour thanks so inspiring
What’s a amazing dragon fruits farms ❤❤❤❤❤
This video was amazing! 🤩 it would be nice to see the tasting afterwards! 😋
Dude i live like 20 minutes from this guy. Gotta check it out
Love his farm. Please visit more farms this summer.
Are you going to have a tasting. So lucky to get so many fruits from his farm. ❤❤ I can’t wait for mine to fruit. Thank U for sharing.
Definitely will try to!
I like it, great to keep it up
Thanks, will do!
Amazing farm. Would love to visit someday
Looking forward. We are in Thousand Oaks, CA
Hope you’ll have a chance too
What's the pros and cons of letting them grow wild like Alik vs heavy pruning into a shape of an umbrella? Will letting them grow wild produce more fruit? Is Alik letting them grow wild to sell the cuttings?
I wish I could have more helpers. Volunteers are coming. This is my full time job now. I give away cuttings to my local community and adding to the orders as a gift. Definitely needs trimming to propagate. I have 700 cuttings in the green house and will replace them soon with a new one.
darn it, i wished I built my trellis like Alik's home. It looks like it's really compact
Yeah it was definitely a cool set up
Great Tour of Alik's Amazing Farm! If you're ever in Nor Cal, I'd love to have you over to Firecrest Farms. Thanks for Sharing and Great Work Alik!
Cảm ơn bạn chia sẻ video về Thanh Long,thật tuyệt vời,mời bạn ghé quê hương tôi
Everytime Rich pronounces Orchard as Orcard take a shot!
😂😂😂
@GraftingDragonFruit I feel like you bamboozled me! No way someone with a ch in their name mispronounced a word with a ch in it! You 200 IQ farmed me for a comment!! 😂
I've bought cuttings from Alik before, he has the best cuttings for the best price on his eBay store!
Thanks Richard for making available this. And thanks Alik for your clear briefing on df.
You’re welcome!
QR Codes - great idea, Alik.
I think that these are the healthiest looking dragon fruit plants I’ve ever seen. It didn’t seem like there were any blemishes or diseased stems at all. What’s the secret? Is it his particular climate, soil mix, feeding schedule, etc.?
I’m planning a trip to Ventura county in September. I want to see if we can make a stop at Alik’s place.
Definitely contact him when the time comes
He's by appointment only but you should definitely do it.
Where can I but those planters from?
How big are the pots? This is inspiring
I have a question, why is the ends of my dragon fruit branches turning white? They’re still plump and healthy looking but turning white. Any help would be appreciated.
Hey Richard, Could you please make a taste review of grape pop dragon fruit variety?
I have just one variety. Can you ship some rooted cuttings to Kenya?
Could you share fertilixing mgt thanks
What kind of fertilizer did you put
Beautiful! Question. Will it flower/fruit in the future at an same spot where it has fruited before?
No it won’t. Once the nodes are completed, it is done for that branch
@@GraftingDragonFruit so what’s recommended for that branch? Should it be removed?
I think you have to trim more branch more food❤❤❤
100%, will trim for the new cutting to grow. I have 700 in green house to replace now.
What is the size of the container you use? Please reply.
how do I get some cuttings from you? I currently have Frieda's snow dragon's seedlings that I would love to graft into one of your cuttings to speed up the fruit growth.
Your dragon fruits are only in containers so what kind of fertilizers do you use and how often
Why doesn’t the grower grow DF in the ground directly? Please advise. Thanks so much!
I have a question. If these dragon fruit flower only at night, how does someone who has a farm pollinate their plants since we know that pollinators dont come out at night.
Ok ❤
Thanh long ngon lam toi muon mua vai qua dung pick them up early still sour let’s skin turn dark red color so they sweet
Hi Ricard, i am very new for dragon fruit. Just fell in love. Living at UK not weather for them there. But i am mad enough to try them to grow from seeds what i took from superstore fruit.
First attempt was died because if cold. But i tested yellow variety and oh, i must have them. I did try many tit until they sprouted.
Now i having small little once. I do want them to grow for cuttings and take them to Africa where us weather much better for them. Do its ok to growe them as they go and then cut from mother plant for cuttings. Just much easier to pack them for transfer.
Awesome Video, Its Orchard though not Orchid Richard!😄
Thank you
I was just in Ventura this weekend and tried my first dragonfruit! I live in central CA and picked up a dragonfruit plant yesterday from a private buyer. Any tips for newbies? When should we make the trellis & transfer to a larger pot? The plant is about a foot tall. Thank you.
When the branches have rooted
Thank you!
You're welcome!
How do you deal with rotten wood after many years and hundred of pounds of branches over it? Wood is easier to cut and build but I will do metal from old fence post. Last forever and. not worry about rust as it is galvanized. Of course i have a welder and know how to weld. I prefer metal over wood for rigidity and longevity. Pvc is a NO NO.
Good harvest ! How come cost of that fruit in store racks are costly? $5 to $6 a piece?
It’s the same on farms as they are sold by the lb. Biggest reason because it takes a lot of work to grow them and there’s not a huge mass amount yet
Where are you located ? Do you sell cuttings?
I have a question. I just received my first sugar dragon cutting from a shop on Etsy from Florida. I live in California so it took about a week and a half to get to me. When I got it it’s still quite green but very very thin almost as if it’s completely dried up, the fins are not even 1/8th thick. Just wondering if it’s too far gone and if there’s still hope. Thanks!
Upload the picture and variety name. Try to root it first in water at home.
Dragonfruit can go a pretty long time without water. While they like water more often than regular cactus, it's still a cactus. A week and a half isn't that long. Just don't stick it out in full sun right away. Part shade, baby it a bit.
Like Alik and Beth said, try to keep it in water and in a cool place it should do well. Good luck.
@@NatureWithAlik finally was able to upload a picture, I had to wait for UA-cam to verify me. When you say soak in water do you mean keep the soil moist or completely submerge the cutting?
What’s the state you are in this farm ?
Thousand Oaks, CA
Alik going to need another farm. Is he watering by hand?!
Yes, by hose in orchard and automation at home. Every plant needs a different amount of water>
What is name this variety?
But why he didn't trim/ cut the bottom like people say.
Hi am Grace from India
My dragon plant for the firsttime gave me 8 dragons but the leaves are looking very dull and skinny...please give me a solution...
You should visit Rare Dragon Fruit. That guy have 300 varieties or more maybe 🤔
How many price per kg?
Can we buy fruit from him?
I didn't understand what he meant by Sabbath fruit
If I live in the TN ,can I plant the dragon fruit
They prefer sandy, very well draining soil. How cold does it get in winter where you are? It's a tropical plant.
You can definitely plant them as long as you're able to maintain the soil and conditions to what they require
Does he ship cuttings to Romania, Europe?
Sorry, no shipping outside of US.
Hopefully you find some growers in the europe area
How often do you water?
Once a week 1/2 gal per plant when hot over 85. Use mulch and umbrellas to cool them down and keep moisture.
It just depends on the soil and weather.
Thanks Alik! If you have a good source for good umbrellas, please share.
@@GraftingDragonFruit Gary's best top pot
Hi, I am from India.l Want this plant,how I get this plant?
You’ll have to find someone who has them and can ship to India or within India
நன்றாகபபேசுகிறீர்goodfarmer
