Anonymous says... If anyone in Adelaide is interested they are selling Dragon Fruit in Woolworths, it is the red skinned white flesh variety. I haven't tried the one I bought yet as I am waiting for it to ripen, I have read that they are ripe when the tips of the leaves covering it turn brown and it is a little soft like a peach or mango. Is this correct? | About the Author 20th January 2009 3:23pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Michael says... Hi Damian, I have the pink with white flesh growing in pots and there are four flowers at the moment.I'm expecting them to fruit as I have bought good stock from a commercial grower. The reason why some dragon fruit plants wont flower is due to the stock of the original parent plant.. Many people have tons of flowers but no fruits due to this reason..I will post pictures once the flowers turn into fruits. | About the Author Michael Cabramatta 11th February 2009 11:31am #UserID: 1746 Posts: 178 View All Michael's Edible Fruit Trees |
kim says... Hi Damian, I planted my dragon fruits nearly 4 years ago and had fruits within nine months. I grow both the red skin/red flesh and yellow skin/white flesh. The yellow ones taste better and the birds do to eat them because of the thorns. So I am slowly switching more to yellow ones. I live in Greenbank(Logan) Kim | About the Author kim2 brisbane 12th February 2009 7:16pm #UserID: 128 Posts: 27 View All kim2's Edible Fruit Trees |

Patricia says... Can anyone help me please. I was given a dragon tree plant three years ago. It is thriving and growing, but I have only had one fruit appear and then it burst into a lovely cream lilly like flower, which lasted about three days. The whole thing then withered and dropped off. Do I need another plant (maybe a male ?) do I need another plant for polination ? Any help would be appreciated. | About the Author Patricia7 Mandurah 1st May 2009 7:25pm #UserID: 2260 Posts: 2 View All Patricia7's Edible Fruit Trees |
Correy says... Patricia, Dragon fruit often benefits from pollination and if you don't have reliable insects then you may like to try pollinating them with a hand brush. Some people like the idea of having another type of dragon fruit such as vietnamese, red or yellow in close proximity. They usually will put all their energy into growing up as high as possible before they become content enough to fruit. This is why a lot of people grow them on a small 2m post. That way when they start drooping down and getting lots of sun they are content enough to start producing fruit. | About the Author Correy Brisbane 2nd May 2009 10:35am #UserID: 3 Posts: 493 View All Correy's Edible Fruit Trees |
