I am 99% sure it is the same as Voodoo Child. I've had this hypothesis for a while and was able to check it when I visited Pine Island a few months ago. Hai...
Dear Group, From using Wikipedia I can say that almost all entries have a bibliography-- which usually will describe where the info came from. To edit an...
Hello, My first year #15 Physical Graffity (cuttings from 2 years ago at Irvine) had 12 flowers and set fruits but died and dropped off about 2 inches long....
As I do not keep statistics, I cannot be absolutely certain. However, my observation seems to agree with that of Leo. It also seems to me that the first fruits...
Physical Graffiti is NOT self fertile. Pine Island Nursery describes it as self fertile but it hasn't been for me. The fruit usually drops off around 10 days...
fSince we are speaking about 'Physical Graffiti' (It has been "confrimed" by several on this board to be Paul Thomson's 'S1' and should be honored to him!)...
One more thing: I've stated this before but it cannot be OVERSTATED... If with all this confirmation that Paul's 'S1' (Physical Grafitti) is not self fertile,...
Hi, While I can't comment on Physical Graffiti, I did run into the same thing with H. Undatus. 1st year three flowers that dropped, 2nd year 16 flowers that...

The newbies over here are making excuses why flowers are aborting. They want to believe that non self-fertile types are self-fertile. I think Ramiro is adding...
The last two year's I've gone to Nicaragua to visit children my wife and I sponsor. We stay at a retreat house which has a large garden area shared with a...
Aborted Flower buds and aborted Fruit are two different things and are caused by different reasons. If flower buds are aborted before they reach maturity...
I have a Red Pitayas from Lowes. It gave me 4 flowers. Three flowers already did not give fruit. I tried the 4th flower with hand pollinated. I hope it will ...
I think the DF's sold by Lowe's 1-2 years ago are Voodoo Child. [What is an aka for Voodoo Child? Is it self-fertile? -Leo] ______________________________ ...
I think what Brad was trying to say is that the way the idea of self-fertility was being suggested it could lead to the wrong and VERY costly conclusion. Also,...
My 18" polyrhizus cutting in a pot has been pushing out only flower buds this whole season. One flower bud actually grew out to 2" before aborting. The others...

Attached are several photos taken in August of 2009 and 2010 during the mission awareness trips of CFCA I participated in. Although we didn't have time devoted...
Ken, you stirred my interest about the history of pitaya in Asia as I had wondered the same thing myself. After a little searching, I came up with fairly...
Leo, I want you to post this email with the pictures in our pitaya group. This is very important as it shows that pitaya can even survive only with aerial...
