What about vitamin?
That bitch didn’t make fruit. he is a man. God made him, and that fruit. Speak correctly.
I live in zone 10 and I completely understand his mentality of "if you see it you just have to have it." If I go to my hardware store, I could easily spend $100 in 5mins on just fruit / vegetable plants. I stress-bought 4 banana plants last week.
Leonard cuts are awesome! My favorite for intricate tightly branched ornamental maples.
I wish that I could live for a billion years so I can learn all the things that exists on this existence it’s sad that is not possible 😭😭
Help I have at least 20 seedlings…. and you said better to graft. Do you have DIY video? Can a newby successfully do this
What are the side effects of that one variety that you guys were giggling about
Como puedo conseguir una de tus plantas
The only reason I eat dragon fruit is because it’s bright pink
Did tou say what you grow them in the soil
You’re dead right about them tasting different when grown at home. I got my first fruit today and I was shocked by how sweet it was because all the ones I had tasted were bland. I was just growing them because I liked the texture.
My lord
Are there any species that don’t have thorns or spines?
Special property please 🙏😅

The flesh of that Redish/Purple fruit is far better tasting than the white flesh of the most common dragon fruit. We do use the white flesh in smoothies as a slight thickener because its taste is so mild it won’t over bear the other fruit flavors in the smoothie. But, I don’t eat them other than that.
in Mexico that plant is called pitahaya, in the south is very easy to grow but as you go more to the north, gets more expensive, ☺️a friend gave 2, and now im here to learn how they grow as im from the north od Mex hehe🤠
Do the stores have a "different type of white dragonfruit" ? Or is it just unripe?
21:05 – No Waifu, No Laifu
What a dang title
You know, i’m in the UK and exotic fruits can be difficult to grow…challenge accepted
I will bite what is the "Special Quality" of Ecuador (Pulala ?)
What is the interesting thing that happens from eating the Ecuador Palora?
I AM HAVING MY FIRST DRAGON FRUIT RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE MORE SWEETER THOUGH.. DO IT SURPOSE TO BE SWEET OR NOT??? CAN SOMEONE TELL ME PLEASE…THANKS!!
Amazing. Thanks for the video, I literally just saw a dragon fruit in walmart tonight and I instantly bought it and just now began doing some research before I do anything with it
I had a dragon fruit that produced flowers for 2 years in a row, first year no fruit second year in waiting. I think it needs cross pollination.
I just got a cutting from my neighbor. If that one flowers, would that work with the other one?
As the tree grows, it becomes very heavy, so its pole should be tied with a wire to support the wire side wall.
This whole time I thought dragon fruit was asain ….and I never tried this fruit before and it is from my home countries backyard
I’m originally from Anaheim but am in Colorado (Denver area) zone 5b and I own a food garden coaching/design company… I soooo wish I had room indoors so that I could grow these!
Do you always recommend growing in big pots, rather than in the ground? I am in central Florida
What is more profitable, dragon fruit or cannabis?
What precisely is the special benefit of Palora Dragon?
Wow master dragon fruit grower
Is it possible to send me some cuttings?
I live in your neighborhood and I saw your garden little bit from outside. Can I get some dragon fruit please 🙏
How does he walk through dragon fruit alley and have his arms brush against the stems? Whenever I try to tie my dragonfruit stems to a beam, it’s so painful because of the thorns. I wear gloves and it still goes through sometimes!
Think I made my stand a bit to big .. overkill more like it. Damn it !!!
Mmm one of my favorite fruits. The only time I can find them is when I’m traveling to Asia unless I go to an Asian Supermarket or Hawaii.
Why some dragon fruits color inside is white?
Omg. We live so close ,lol
Is this south Florida? Miami? I don’t think I can grow this in 9A
I just recieved some cuttings i live in zone 8a
Winter ima have to bring inside or make a green house for them. Or perhaps garden fleece for winter and mulch? And make stakes around and wrap it?
Best tasting Dragon Fruit I can find in Canada (Toronto) is the Yellow not nice looking as the Red
Eric is a cutie!!
I like how you added the music while you guys were harvesting
How can I buy one of your plants?
