Hey richard I've been watching your videos and learning a lot from it. Your videos are ate sa helpful. I really like all the varieties of dragon fruits you have

@bryanblackburn5516 4 года назад

What a wonderful video, it's so amazing to watch someone in such exstacy eating the fruits of their labor. You're description of the taste was excellent, makes me want to eat them more often. Love your enthusiasm 😁😁😁🦘🦘🦘

@GraftingDragonFruit 4 года назад

Thank you very much Bryan! As you can probably already tell, I really enjoy and love eating Dragon Fruits. No matter what variety it is, I've learned to appreciate each variety for their unique taste. I can't wait for my other varieties to finish ripe so that I can do other taste test so everyone can see which varieties will suit them best. 😁

Hi Richard. You have me smiling again as I watch you eat and enjoy. The Ecuadorian Palora looks yummy. Have you tried making ice cream/gelato with your fruits? BTW ..... I just read from one of your comments that you’re a neighbor. GREAT VIDEOS! Keep up the good work. I’m learning lots

@Purong265 4 года назад

I really admire your passion with your dfs. I usually wait for my H. undatus fruit to crack open before I pick it and reach its max sweetness. It takes a full 11 days more to fully ripen than my H. costaricensis variety. Right now, I have 2-month old palora yellow seedlings and will be trying your grafting method soon. Cheers.

@GraftingDragonFruit 4 года назад

Thank you Purong265 for your kind words. I’ve noticed that waiting 7-11 days after the dragon fruit has turn red will give it that sweetness that will taste perfect on these Vietnam white. If you graft your seedlings they will grow so so fast. Just make sure you use a well rooted rootstock. It will increase growth speed by 10x!

@martinmclean5985 4 года назад

Vietnamese Dragon Fruit needs to be picked early to ensure an acceptable product when shipped. Appearance is more important than taste at market. Tye at Spicy Exotics says extra ten days will boost brix for fruit. There is a lesson to be learned there for commercial growers.

@GraftingDragonFruit 4 года назад

Hi Martin, that's correct. When you are a commercial grower, fruits are tend to picked unripe and when dragon fruits are picked early off the vine. They don't continue to ripe. It stops and you get this bland fruit that you buy in the markets. Each variety of dragon fruits ripe at different rates for Vietnam white specifically, it takes 41 days to fully ripe with highest brix content.

HI Richard, I got white DF like what you have and I picked after bloom 42th day but my are not sweetness and a little bit sour. Please help for any suggesttion??? or fertilizer??/ Thank you very much

@GraftingDragonFruit 4 года назад

Hi Cuong, if your dragon fruit is not sweet after 41-42 day of harvest since flower bloom. Then I recommend adding compost chicken fertilizer to your soil. When you see buds pop out from your branches. That's when I would put 2 inches of chicken fertilizer to the top base of my soil. Mix it in well with your existing soil and a few weeks later they will be feeding off the chicken manure. Dragon fruits love chicken manure and thrive very well with it. In return all that nutrients they get from the fertilizer will turn your fruits to more sweeter dragon fruits.

I’ve had a really sweet white flesh too. My relative in Hawaii grew them and I was hesitant to eat it due to bad experience from store bought white flesh ones. But boy , I was surprised when I bit into it. Wish I asked her what she fertilized her plants with.

@GraftingDragonFruit 4 года назад

I've had similar bad experiences like you but with myself growing the Vietnam whites. I was a beginner when I started with this variety and didn't know what I was really doing. I was watering too much and didn't fertilize them with anything. 4 years later, I've found that chicken manure really gives that sweetness boost to the fruits when you fertilize them with it. This made me a believe in chicken manure!

@lemontea128 4 года назад

Grafting Dragon Fruit thanks! I usually just add some compost and fish emulsion. After seeing your results, I’m definitely adding chicken manure!

@GraftingDragonFruit 4 года назад

It was the study from the University of Agriculture. They have tested to find out how many days will make the fruit peak its best sugar content. You start counting the day the flower has bloomed. Congrats on your flowers blooming! Hand pollinate them!

Thank you Salvi, I was very shocked and amazed of how this Vietnam white turned out. It was my first time experiencing it this sweet and it change my whole perspective on how I use to look at this variety. If you grow it right they can taste soo good! 41 days from pollination to harvest :)
