Robert starts with ... I have a dragon fruit plant which i think will have the red outer with the white inner flesh. It was given to me by a friend who grows them but every time it flowers it does not set fruit, the flowers/slash fruit goes yellow and falls off. It is in a raised bed but the soil is dark and slightly heavy, it only gets watered every third day or so. Can you give me some clues as to what might be wrong | About the Author Robert ayr 22nd January 2014 4:45pm #UserID: 9381 Posts: 2 View All Robert's Edible Fruit Trees |

sternus1 says... Not sure, mine hasn't fruited. I have discovered that there are a few different thornless yellows going around and they are not all created equal. Time will tell how good mine is. You know, Red fox sell a variety of purple that is spectacular. It is called aztec gem, very, very deep purple and tastes like tuti fruti. Should be more well known than it is, and no doubt will be one day. s | About the Author sternus1 Australia 26th January 2014 5:16pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

sternus1 says... You def. won't be disappointed. It's a really smooth type too, virtually spine-free. Just be prepared for a bank deposit, red fox don't have paypal or a credit card system, and unfortunately go through heritage bank which can be an issue when trying to direct transfer online (it was for me, I'm with suncorp). | About the Author sternus1 Australia 26th January 2014 8:43pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

sternus1 says... you'd need some type of support. They don't develop trunks,the picture you saw was probably one that did have a support of some kind which was covered by a bunch of epiphytes and therefore obscured. Very large and old ones do have a kind of woody base, but it's pretty far from a proper trunk. They tend not to fruit before the start to weep downwards. Just cut the bottom put of a big pot and place this over a pole cemented into the ground, fill with soil and voila. | About the Author sternus1 Australia 27th January 2014 8:36pm #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

sternus1 says... Gimme, that isn't going to work for you. If you look at the plants, they are very thick, which means they are very old. Whoever has done that has taken very large cuttings from an old plant and planted them that way. Mature and old cuttings will often set fruit before they put out new growth; I recently had a cutting do this, it was only a foot long. The fruit dropped off, because I didn't hold off on the water. A vine (for lack of a better word) has to weigh at least 10 pounds before it will fruit. Those weigh more than that--considerably more. Unless you are able to procure some very old cuttings, you will not get the same result for a very, very long time, and will find yourself doing a lot of pruning. s | About the Author sternus1 Australia 28th January 2014 6:59am #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

sternus1 says... Gimme somebody posted a pic here a while back of a very good sized dragon growing in a hanging pot. Might be something worth thinking about, my only criticism is that this would make fertilization tricky but a liquid fertilizer might solve this entirely. I've never tried it. Plant appeared to be in good health. | About the Author sternus1 Australia 28th January 2014 9:19am #UserID: 8314 Posts: 1318 View All sternus1's Edible Fruit Trees |

JohnMc1 says... Mary, your cutting is from a Vietnamese df farm that closed down, partly due to, in my opinion, incompetence by the new inexperienced owner. All the vines were knocked over and ploughed into the ground. Luckily, he sold me a couple of full size vines before they were all destroyed. You will love the size (consistently 1kg +) and beautiful sweet taste and texture of the fruit. The supermarket varieties don't even enter the equation. It's hard to imagine that there's nicer, sweeter varieties out there. | About the Author JohnMc1 Warnervale NSW 29th January 2014 8:49am #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |

JohnMc1 says... Mary, that pic was from a vine that escaped over the fence. Luckily it's not in a high traffic area. The vine was loaded with ripe fruit when I found it last year. It appears that no-one was interested in the fruit, but I'll front the owners this year and see why they are growing it, and maybe bag some fruit. Mine, on the other hand, is coming into it's third flush of flowers with the first about two weeks away from ripening. | About the Author JohnMc1 Warnervale NSW 2nd February 2014 10:37pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees |
