I have a really large and healthy Miracle Fruit shrub in a very large pot under the eaves of our home where it doesn't get a huge amount of sun and have it on...
Thomson S-8: As I recall Paul Thomson selected two from his 'Houghton' cross... and identified them as 7S and 8S. And as I understand it, 8S was renamed...
Most fascinating. But I am not sure I quite follow the self-fertile and self- pollination part. My interest is more than academic as I like the fruit and want...
HI spent 30 years of my life researching and growing avocados... I have three patented varieties... The similarities between avocado and dragonfruit are...
I received my Houghton from Quang Ong who received it from Paul, last year we harvested fruit, it is a bit small, but has a real sweet taste. I offered one to...
More precisely, Mark, you offered the Houghton fruit to Edgar and me! :) I thought it was very good. Edgar tasted it, seemingly unimpressed (due to size?)...
Someone is going to have to source me on this but I think ALL species of dragon fruit are in the Hylocereus family now. I read a recent article, maybe on...
