Wonderful to see so many varieties side by side like that. I guess you must love attending these shows, always very enlightening. I'm also interested in Richard Lee, perhaps you might consider a video or two about yourself?? 😁😁🦘🦘
The Dragon fruit festival is definitely very fun and I enjoy it very much! It's always so fun to chat and have nice conversations with everyone about Dragon Fruits its definitely enlightening. I always leave feeling so happy when it ends. Looking forward to next years festival already!
i can not belive how many varieties of drgon fruit their is. im looking forward to seeing how the fruit is on the ones i have bought. i would love a Vietnamese White, looks spectacular!
wow, this is crazy, the different varieties of fruit. I have a handful of stalks growing, but don't know what varieties that they are. How would you recommend to figure out what I could possibly have? I'm really happy to have found your channel and I too am in the LA area.
You're very welcome Rafael! I'm glad that this was able to help you. If you haven't already joined my Facebook group, you should and post your pictures of your dragon fruits and me and all the members can help you identify the variety. Of course it will be easier once you have the fruits and flesh visible.
Dear Richard, I only recently subscribed and I am enjoying all the information you are giving us - Thank You so much! I've only tried / tasted Dragon Fruit once and didn't care for it much but I also never knew there are so many varieties out there. My brother planted a couple of dragon fruit on my property but I had no idea there is such important ways to (have to?) take care of the plant and the fruit. I plan to watch all your videos from the beginning so that I can educate myself on their care and production of fruit. I want to be able to give my bother the fruit. Last year is the first time I've seen blossoms come out on the stems - I didn't know the flowers had to be pollinated by hand! So therefore - we got no fruit from them. I am so happy to come across your channel!! I don't have any idea which variety my brother planted. I have some questions: 1. If I click on "Play All" will the videos automatically start on your first video???? If not could you please tell me the order I need to watch the videos?? 2. could you please put me on your list to send seeds to??? My Property is in Riverside county so it is VERY HOT. Could you send seeds to what is, in your expert opinion, the best tasting Dragon Fruit?? Will the best tasting ones survive in the heat of the Inland Valley?? 3. Would it be okay if I sent you pictures of what I have right now and would you be able to tell what Variety I have from the pictures and be able to advise me on what I need to do? I am 65 years old now - is it too late to even be getting involved in growing the fruit since I have to start from the beginning in building the trellises etc etc? I find your video's intriguing and would like to be successful. 4. Which varities are your favorite and what do they taste like (remind you of ?) or are all the varieties totally unique in taste? Thank you in advance for your guidance and assistance, answers to my questions. I feel I am too old to do much - I doubt I would be trying to produce tons of the fruit but the two that I have I would like to be successful in their CARE and if you should be kind enough to send me other variety seeds If I could be successful to have one plant each I would be very happy and very satisfied to get fruit from them. Are they good for your health? What are the benefits in your opinion? Thanks again and hope to hear from you!

Grafting Dragonfruit. Hi Richard, where is this?! I’ve always wanted to go and attend one of this event. Do they have cuttings to sell during this show. Please let me know when they have another. I was searching for this last time.
My fav is the yellow one! Very sweet! Good for detox. I go to the bathroom within the next hr like waterfall! Not even kidding! Stay hom for me when eat the yellow one
Tamal Mandal, I have the Condor variety but no fruit yet. I am hoping that next season they will bear fruit for me. I will do taste test on that variety once I get some fruits. Thank you
Hi Richard nice varieties of Dragon Fruit you have shown us! I'm new to planting, and the one I have only bore one fruit while some of the other ones fall off after blooming. So which one of these varieties are self pollinating while has a red sweet flavor. Is the Equador Paloris self pollinating or the one you have (American beauty) is one? Thank you From Philippines
Hi Richard, Learning a lot from your videos and they are very helpful. Thanks for making this possible. I have few acres of land in india and would like to focus on developing/bringing different varieties of dragon fruit plants than fruit production in bulk. Every time I search online, i keep getting lost and unsure what is the best source to learn about different breeds and where to source. Can you please point me to any source that you feel can help me to learn more or people who can supply different breeds?
Meanwhile in Croatia you cannot buy dragon fruit anywhere... -.- I managed to buy one fruit to get the seeds but I'm not sure if this variety produces pollen or not... Couple of more years to see...
@@giannissamos533 There's one guy near Zagreb (capitol) who grows dragonfruit in the greenhouse and they produce fruit... But he's the only one and probably has limited supply... In the other hand, we could import the fruit but our market is too small for selling dragonfruit (people even don't know this magnificent fruit)...
Hi...l grow the Giant Vietnamese white and red, and they are so easy to care. They are self pollinating, so no need to worry about hand pollinating them. Btw, l live in 91722
Hi Cezannie, in my own personal opinion. The best tasting one to me would be Tricia, Asunta, and Physical Graffiti. Best variety to grow in LA, CA would be Sugar Dragon, Tricia, and Physical graffiti. They have tendency t o be high yielding once they are at a mature stage. Specificially Physicial Graffiti they are very vigor grower and produce big fruits in abudance. That one is worth looking into. You just need to make sure you have pollen to cross pollinate to be able to bear fruit from these variety. Sugar Dragon's pollen is a universal pollen which can pollinate all other dragon fruit varieties to successfully bear fruit.
Those varieties are awesome! They are the best for beginners and bear fruits on their own. Self pollinating so you wont need to cross pollinate with another variety. Those also are high yielding varieties.

Thanks Richard, last minutes i will not be able to make it if i knew in 3 weeks advance i could have ask for time off and be there, let us know in advance Richard.
In terms of sweetness I would say of the yellow variety (that I've tried). It's taste somewhat resembles that of honey. In terms of productivity I have no idea, that would probably depend on the plant itself.

That's kind of vague. It's hard to tell until you cut it open. As you have seen though, some look physically different on the outside than others. Odds are you have a red outside to white flesh variety, it's most common.

Which one has highest nutrients sir ?
How do you know which one you have? For example, if I bought from the grocery store, how can I tell which variety I have?
What are te Best varíeties the sweetest and most productive..?
In terms of sweetness I would say of the yellow variety (that I've tried). It's taste somewhat resembles that of honey. In terms of productivity I have no idea, that would probably depend on the plant itself.
The Yellow is by far the best the Reds dont even come close,reds are bland yellow is very tasty
