If I tried to pollinate my dragon fruit and have had no fruits form on 4 of them do I assume I have self sterile and now need different pollen. How can I determine what variety I have or is this something I have to wait and see once I have successfully pollinated with a different pollen

@shamrockgirl804 Месяц назад

If the flowers are not producing fruit with their own pollen, it's safe to say it's a self-sterile variety. It's difficult to determine the dragon fruit variety by branch, bud, flower, and fruit descriptions alone. You may have to join a local dragon fruit group (i.e. Facebook) and request pollen. There may be growers in your area who may give you pollen from another variety.

@@shamrockgirl804 thank you. I will look for a group. Have about 10 buds and I would love to get some fruit out of them. Also. My favorite is the yellow and that is why I began growing. Are other varieties just as sweet

Where can I buy the pollen vials?

@serasma 15 дней назад

I had no idea how complicated, the commitment required, and how hit-or-miss it is to get fruit.

@shamrockgirl804 7 дней назад

Dragon fruits are a commitment for sure. Growing self-fertile varieties are easier because all you need is to pollinate the flower with its own pollen. But because most of mine are self-sterile and needs another variety, I need to cross-pollinate and store pollen. Some varieties accept anything I give it and others are finicky.

@shamrockgirl804 I have a ❓ what if I do not pollunate the flower when it blooms? will I not have dragon fruit to harvest?

@shamrockgirl804 7 дней назад

It highly depends on the dragon fruit variety or plant's fertility: If the plant is self-fertile and you have natural pollinators (or possibly a windy night), the flower might set fruit. If the plant is self-fertile AND self-pollinating, the flower will likely set. If the plant is self-sterile, it will not set fruit if not pollinated. The best way to guarantee fruit is to hand-pollinate and cross-pollinate the flowers when they open.

@@shamrockgirl804 Thank you for the information, this is my first dragon fruit plants from a friend. So far plants are doing good.
