Does anyone have knowledge of pitaya growing on a living fence. Examples could be leucena, glerisidia, acacia... Management practices around this type of...

What's your opinion of expanding the focus of this group to include fruit (and possibly other edible parts) of all Cacti? I am willing, but am also willing to...
If it was left up to me the list would discuss all cactus fruit. I would even change the name of the list to cactus fruits. By the way, my name is Richard and...
Hi Tom, I have my pitayas growing on Inga trunks. Ingas are commonly used as shade trees in coffee and cacao plantations, and have thick trunks, widely spaced...
Bryan Hey thanks for the response. I like Inga a lot. Perhaps opening the inside of the canaopy would help with light issues. I have seen them do well in...

Detrick, I've heard the fruit tastes like maple syrup and the plant is fairly frost hardy. I've been meaning to look for a source, but haven't gotten around to...
Hi All, I have just bought a pitaya fruit, because I want to sow the seeds, but I can't figure out how to separate the seeds from the rest of the fruit. Any...
Hi Dan, You can separate the seeds, or you can cut the fruit in *thin* slices, and the seeds will sprout when placed in a warm place. They may mold, however,...
Hello Sven, I know of two greenhouses that carry the Peniocereus Greggii. Tohono Chul Park in Tucson boasts the largest collection in the world. Go to ...
Hi Leo and all, Thanks for your reply. Do you know how fast the seedlings will grow? I am going to use the plants for grafting, and I am wondering how old they...
Hi Dan, First off I clean the seeds using a fine strainer. I Just put a quarter of the fruit in and squeeze the pulp through. Be sure to catch the juice in a ...
I have started an album, for photographs of my pitaya plants and fruit, in which I will post photos from time to time. I have added two today. One is of the...
Hi Dertrick, I have a few seeds of a cross of H. undatus and a red fleshed variety. I don't think I have any from a cross between two white fleshed varieties...
Okay, perhaps it's not the end of the world, but it might be the end of my Hylocererus Undatas rooted cutting. I put it in full sunlight a couple of weeks...
Hi everybody, I am new to this group from Hong Kong. Some seeds in a Dragon fruit I brought from the market have germinated. 20 plants with 1 pair of leaves ...
Leo, The top section of the cutting is rotting. I sprayed the cutting with Fung-Away. I'll treat it with Fung-Away granules, too. I thought about cutting...
Hi Leo David and Tina Silber have a so called green fruited cultivar that was brought by their friend on a trip to Africa. I believe they grew out the seed and...
... Ok, I'm confused. I thought cacti were native to the new world and pitaya native to Central and parts of South America. Is this a fruit that was...
Hi All, I finally got around to uploading a few pictures, mostly red fleshed varieties because these are more exciting. They are in the following directory: ...
We are in Australia and are currently trying to grow dragon fruit, the problem we have is that the fruit don't want to stay on the plant. The plant will flower...
Hi Dora, As Leo has said it is probably a pollination problem. Many varieties are self-sterile and need cross-pollination from a genetically different clone....
Dora Andreou said that, "after about a week the small fruit will turn yellow and fall off." This means that the flower was pollinated, right? If so, I don't...
I learned today that the fruit of the Epi I posted by name 'Calisto' should have been labeled 'Cadet.' I had received a fruit and cutting in a package, with...
