Anonymous says... Aaron, I have had the same problem just in the last week, but mine seem to have yellow/orange spots inside the blisters. We haven't had frosts in the area of the plants. I read on a website that it could be sunburn so have moved mine to a more shady position and am hoping for the best. | About the Author 11 Maleny 7th August 2007 9:15am #UserID: 209 Posts: 1 View All 11's Edible Fruit Trees |

Greg says... Hi guys, I have about 7 Dragon fruits growing now. They are an under story tree, so they prefer filtered light. There favorite thing to do is to climb up a large tree. They have a very shallow root system, and grow air-roots as they get bigger. They do not need much fertilizer or water, too much of either of these can cause problems. I am training mine over a trellis, and they are approx 3m high now. They take 2-3 years to fruit, so I still have a couple of years to go. | About the Author Greg6 Brisbane 27th September 2007 2:08pm #UserID: 336 Posts: 3 View All Greg6's Edible Fruit Trees |
christine says... I purchased 2 fruit 18mths ago & am now getting my 3rd crop of fruit. Train your plants up a trellis like a cross shape tie them into a clump. Once the limbs begin to hang over they will fruit. I feed them with a light citrus fertilizer. You should get 4 crops a year. I live on the Qld Sunshine Coast & we havn't had frost, but I have had the same blister on the new plants when they are getting too much sun. They certainly are a great eating fruit. | About the Author 24th March 2011 5:17pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |
