- I was invited over to Edgar Valdivia’s home to get a tour in his garden. Edgar Valdivia is a Dragon Fruit creator and hybridizer. He has created many of the Dragon Fruit varieties that we have in our backyards today. Without him we would not be having all these wonderful tasting fruits in our time now. Check out this video to see all the varieties that Edgar Valdivia was so generous enough to let me take home!

Such a hugeeeee cutting!!!!! Wow!!!! And so nice of him, excited to watch them grow!
I couldn't believe how big it was either! I was in total shock, There was like 5 of those hanging from a tree. So happy to get one its so cool!
I found a dragon at my local garden shop of the "Edgar's Baby" variety. After a much needed repotting I found out it was a cluster of 3 mature specimens and one lil baby. I wish I could post a picture on here. Soooo excited to see how they turn out! Been loving your videos btw you are well spoken and can see the passion in your eyes!
I am so excited for you, Richard!!!!! Bravo. ♥️♥️♥️ I look forward to all your future videos. You are the best teacher on dragon fruit growing on UA-cam!
Thank you so much Lan! You are always putting a smile on my face every time! You're my motivation to keep providing Dragon Fruit content for you and all. Stay awesome like how you always are!
Hello Richard! I’m meeting with Edgar next week!!! He’s truly a MASTER gardener & excellent teacher! I’m your newest subscriber!
Charles 🌱👍
Hi IV Organic! That's awesome, make sure to mention to Edgar that you are a subscriber to my UA-cam channel. He'll know you're talking about me he's a good friend of mine. Always so nice when I visit him and Patricia. She is the best, for allowing visitors to come and enjoy the company of Edgar.
😆
@@GraftingDragonFruit Hello Richard! Will do!!! Getting my 101 questions ready for my interview with him in a few more hours.... later this morning! Charles :-)
@Grafting Dragon Fruit I wish to know what variety of Dragon Fruit that are large for commercial purposes. The Ecuador Palora is very sweet but small.......
Richard, I too got a cutting of the cacti Edgar calls Raisin cactus.
I have been told that it is actually Myrtillocactus geometrizans.
The fruit when picked dried from the cactus reminds me of Cranberry raisins.
Richard, thank you for providing me with the true name of the raisin cactus! You just saved me a million searches. Have you got to try the raisins from your cactus yet?
Grafting Dragon Fruit Yes, I have tasted the fruit, very small, and better when it dries out. It flowers a lot. When tasting, the fruit is so small, I kept thinking what it must be like to be an indigenous person looking for food.
Hi friend I am from India a cacti hobbiest, A medical Dr by profession, I would like to know if we could graft dragon fruit on Myrtillocactus geometrizans for fast growth..
@@dr.rgsamy4876 They are in different genuses but in the same subfamily, so they are probably compatible with each other. It's worth trying as an experiment, although dragon fruit is already fast growing so I'm not sure if there would be an advantage.
Each video amazed me more, and more, I can wait to get started.
Not only because I find dragon fruit plats incredible, and amazing. l love dragon fruit. Thaks for inspiring me.😁
Thank you Olivia, I can't wait until you start your garden journey with these Dragon Fruits either! You're going to find that it is so pleasing and gives you such a happy feeling to have these in your garden growing. They are so mythical and brings happiness. You are awesome, thanks for always watching! So happy that someone like me could inspire you. :)
Wish I could meet you and edgar valdivia some day, im a dragon fruit farmer here in the Philippines, I always watching your videos and i really want to have a different varieties of dragon fruit too, and thank you for sharing you knowledge about dragon fruit👍

He is truly one of a kind.

This is very beautiful! Congratulations!
Amazing varieties! I'm learning to grow DF and you're so instrumental to my learning. Thank you for sharing all your knowledges and experience! Very inspired by you!
Wow.... Awesome veriaty ...
Thanks Warren!
Woww! You have a very nice variety of dragon fruits! Thanks once again of sharing your knowledge about these fruits I wish I have all of them someday! For now I have only 2 varieties but it sad to say that I don’t know the name it is from Thailand which I bought from the store then I planted it from seeds
Thank you, if you're from America there is many sellers that sell many varieties of Dragon Fruits.
This Binh from Sacramento, Love your video Richard, It is amazing how many varieties of dragon fruit you have. I learned so much, and I want to buy your best five varieties. When you are ready to sell them
Hi Binh! Thank you for watching and supporting my videos on UA-cam. I'm very happy that I was able to amaze you with my dragon fruit garden! I will definitely be able to help you out with my best 5 varieties of dragon fruit cuttings when my plants get a pruning. If you haven't already, join my dragon fruit facebook group and send me a message so I can get the details to you. Here's the link -- facebook.com/groups/339405923306378/
Nice cuttings! Tricia is the scariest to handle . Behind is red jaina, then lisa. Those are the ones that I know of with scary thornes.
The thorns pokes me every time I'm handling this variety. Tricia always gets good poke at me when I'm simply just looking at it. Lisa and Red Jaina also hurt when they poke! Ouch! El Grullo is another one that is very thorny!
@@GraftingDragonFruit I will skip on El Grullo, I just saw FB posting with low brix. Not worth the pokes lol.
Oh my you met the legendary Edgar Valdivia 😍😍😍. I have 2 kinds of Valdivia Roja hybrids in my collection and Asunta 1. I'm excited to get hold of the other Asuntas
Like a kid in a candy store, you seem very happy with you're new babies, and they sound great. I would love to see how you plant the raisin cactus, same method as dragon fruit?? Look forward to you're next video 😁😁😁
Thank you Bryan, that would be a perfect way to explain how I felt. I was literally like a kid in a candy store feeling many euphoria enveloping my body. The raisin cactus will be treated just like the Dragon Fruits. They will be rooted, plant, and fed the same way. Maybe it will produce me a raisin dragon fruit if I put it on the same regime. Lol :)
@@GraftingDragonFruit Hi there! I just joined the channel and I have a couple of questions for you. First, is there anyway you can differentiate the color of the fruit by the stems? I have plant that gives me both but I would like to know which one gives me the red ones.
The 2nd question is: this plant looks great, very healthy. Great green color. Very little yield of fruit. I wish I could send you a picture.
Besides using the Bloom and Flower that you recommended in another video, any other suggestion? I am in Fl, and the plant is under full sun. And I have absolutely no experience , I should have subscribed to your channel 5 yrs ago! Thank you!
Thanks 👍👍👍
So amazing!!!!
Hi Richard,
Very nice and a lot of variety dragon fruits you have. Do you sell the cutting.
Hi Nam, yes I do sell cuttings. I will have most varieties available by December. If you have facebook you can join my Dragon Fruit group and contact me for cuttings. Here's the link to join -- facebook.com/groups/339405923306378/
Hey the captus edgar give you its call garambullo look at the Mexican species.
They taste really sweet. As you could tell egdar also loves pitayas in my opinion they are even better in flavor than any pitahaya but they required more specific weader conditions
Very good information 👍
Thank you Matheus!
Thanks Richard.
Can you Made a video from the very begaining, i mean what should i do first. Should i just planting ir should i rooting It first.
Thanks agin.
A raisin cactus? What?!? That sounds soooo cool
The species is Myrtillocactus geometrizans.
Wonderful
Thank you Salvi!
Hi Richard, that is a such great collection that every dragon fruit hobbyist would love to have. Congratulations! I have a question regarding your Edgar's baby seedling. Edgar's baby is self-sterile type, so it has to be pollinated by other varieties, then its seedlings would be by definition a hybrid, so it won't be the same as the mother plant. Is it true?
Hi Xiao Li, Edgar's baby is a self sterile so yes the seed would be a hybrid of a new type. It wont be true to the mother plant. It will be a cross of which ever pollen was used to set the fruit. I'm unsure of what Edgar used as a pollinator for these babies I'd have to ask him when I visit again.
Nice video Richard. Ask Edgar about 'Condor' it has a rich history but was not developed by Edgar and he would love to tell you all about it I'm sure....
So many varieties! I was gifted some cuttings from two different people but I don't know what variety they are. I don't want to cross pollinate and make a hybrid. Guess I have to find out first if these are self fertile.
Hey Richard!
just wondering, what happened to the raisin cactus cutting? Any progress?
👍👏
😁
Hi RICHARD how often you 💦? Thanks for sharing
Hello Richard all these varieties are amazing, I have a question about two varieties that I want, in specific the frankies red and desert king the two of them seems to be hybrids of yellow and red dragon fruit so, how much time these varieties takes times to grow to bear fruits? and how is the flavor of these dragon fruits?
Hi Marion, Frankie's Red and Desert King both take about 3-4 months for the fruits to ripe. Frankie's Red is a very tasty and sweet fruit. Desert King is a magenta flesh that has good tart and sweetness contrast to each other. Definitely both great tasting varieties.
Congratulation! I would like to know if I can buy some cutting? My kids love them, and I like to grow them myself. Please let me know. Thank you so much
Thank you Thuy, Yes if you have facebook you can join my dragon fruit group and send me a message. Ill get some details to you on how you can get some cuttings. Here's the link facebook.com/groups/339405923306378/
I would to know where to get/buy the post with the top square top
My friend gave me almost the same size. Is it ok if i just plant it that way so that i can trim the top after a month to have more branches in preparation for fruiting soon.?
Hi....ur channel is very helpful for me thank u for ur tips... Once flowering branches need pruning for next year blooming...becoz my dragon fruit plant after harvesting the same branches will not blòom again.....please reply need it pruning
I got Frankie's red I wanna graft
Frank red é tóp
Thanks for these videos. I am curious if I really have a dragon fruit an what variety.
I bought some grafted moon cactus that originated from Costa Farms. One of the moon cactus died but the plant it was grafted to survived. When it got over 2 feet tall I looked it up an, I guess it's a dragon fruit.
I am clearly mistreating the poor thing. Mine grows a ton of air roots and it's pretty skinny. It getting close to 6 feet long an started a new vertical shoot where it bent over. It's been growing in a south facing window, at the 45th parallel, from about 3/4 of a gallon of cheap potting soil. I'm gonna move it to a 5 gallon bucket with a simple trellis. I don't think there's much hope for getting fruit, but I like the plant. It really wants to live.
Hi Gus, you definitely have a Dragon Fruit. To figure out what variety it has and to identify it we will have to wait until it produces a flower and fruit to really tell what it is. Plant it in a 15-20 gallon pot. It can live in there for the rest of its life and you wont have to do anymore transplanting in the future. A trellis will definitely help it grow and produce you fruits in the future. They need support to stretch their vines and grow new branches! Good luck and happy gardening my friend!
@@GraftingDragonFruit Thanks!
I would like to stop by to see if I can get from you a piece of dragon fruit to grow. Is that possible?
nice video I have this;
Thank you, Tricia variety is one of my favorites!
We live in San Jose, California. Please let me know do we need to cover the dragon fruit plants in Winter? Thanks
Hey man do you cuttings too?
Hello, very interesting your cuttings of pitahaya developed by mister Valdivia, a question, could you indicate me the parents of the material Tricia???
I really want to learn how to plan drogon fruits
Thanks for the vid you have great advise and are very knowledgeable may be you can help me I wish to buy some plant but I have not seen any for sale in my area I live in northern cali near chico CA again thanks for the great vids.
good night i live in brazil and i would love to have a piataya tricia seedling, how do i buy a seedling? Thank you very much in advance.
For anyone wondering, the raisin cactus is called Myrtillocactus geometrizans.
I live in Arizona and would like to plant some dragon fruits trees,where can I get some suttings ??.
Thanks, Richard, great Video, lot of knowledge, I love gardening and have lot of fruit trees here in NCAL. I used to live in Pasadena,CA. I now live in Northern California. When I moved from S.Cal to N.Cal couple of years ago, I have transported 1 dragon fruit plant and it still trying to thrive here. It is not doing so well as I think that it needs another dragon fruit to cross pollinate. I am planning to visit S.Cal in November and would love to visit you (and get or buy some if the varieties that you talked about. Also how do u get to Edgar Vildivia’s farm from Pasadena? Do U have his farm address? I would appreciate it.
How can one get a tour of Edgar’s V’s farm? How is the raisin cactus?
Is Frankies Red self-pollinating? If not, what would be a good pollinator for it? I’m planning on growing dragon fruit for the first time, long time regular home gardener and fruit tree grower. Thanks for your videos.
Hi, I know it's been years, but I started my dragonfruit garden. I live in Florida, could you tell me where can I find these varieties?
Hello Richard. I had white and red dragon fruits, what kind or colors u will recommend it ? Thanks
Hello, why is the dragon fruit is planted in a pot and not directly in the ground? thank you
Could you please tell me the location you are growing the dragon fruit? Thanks.
হ্যালো রিচার্ড, দয়া করে বলবেন কি? টবের মাটি গুলো কোন কোন উপাদান দিয়ে রেডি করব?
Hi. Do you have a list of cuttings you have available there are a few I'm looking for that are hard to find in my area
Hi Jose, if you have a Facebook please join my Dragon Fruit Group so that you can inquire for varieties of cuttings. I will be able to help you further in detail through there. Here's the link to join -- facebook.com/groups/339405923306378/

Do you trim the Tricia cutting to stimulate new brunches?
Hey buddy
Why don't u giveaway some cuttings, I couldn't find them anywhere here .
If you're from the United States you can purchase some cuttings from me.
Hello Richard, would you please tell me? What are some of the components of the soil in the tub?
Hi JKSP, the soil I use has Bat guano, Earth Worm Castings, Perlite, Organic matter, Fish Bone. If you search up "Fox Farm Ocean Forest" that is the soil I use for ALL of my dragon fruit pots.
@@GraftingDragonFruit thank you, thank you very much
Any update of raisin cactus?
Do you sell cuttings? I don’t use Facebook and don’t want to create an account. Thanks Richard.
Is there a way to know what kind of dragon fruit you have by just the cutting? My friend gave me a white flesh and pink flesh kind but that's all he knew them by.
Класные видео. Жаль что я не могу вырастить.

Hi, I watched your videos much, I love to .... if you sell some yellow dragon fruit tree, I would like to buy that ... waiting to answer
A cactus producing raisins? What?!
Whats up Rich, love the content. Totally off subject, I seen your Air conditioning unit on that wood platform. I recommend painting it with a decent exterior paint to slow the damage from uv. It will last way longer and prevent you from paying $$$$ in the future when it rots out and has to possibly be disconnected and lifted up to be replaced. 🫡
Hey Richard could please try to send me some of this Varieties ??! I’m a student from French Polynesia very far... I can pay for it !
Hi Augustin, I'm very sorry but I am unable to ship dragon fruit cuttings out of my country. My laws prohibit it to be sent without the proper paper work and permits to allow plant material through customs. If you're every in the United States, I will be very happy to help you out my friend.
you should wear a mic
