Hopefully they fruit next year Gareth. I am only giving away what I need to cut off the plants anyhow, to keep them semi manageable. Plus I love giving stuff away to people who I know will appreciate it.
If I leave them on too long I get some fruit fly on the open end but not much and doesn't ruin the whole fruit. This season not a single fruit fly affected fruit because i've taken them off early due to excessive rain so they don't split
I knew about the Darkstar it's sometimes called 9-s (even over here) but not the Delight. I don't class myself as a dragonfruit fanatic, they are just one of a few hundred different fruiting plants I grow to eat. I actually like some of the milder flavoured dragonfruit, they make a nice break from eating strong flavoured fruit such as mangos, lychees, jackfruit etc
