A video about growing yellow dragon fruit (pitaya) and how several fruit grew very large this season despite the plants growing poorly due to a lack of trace elements and probably bad rainfall of late.

Hi Mark Hope U R Fine And Well u Should Look At Jeff Heriot Channel He Grows Great Dragon Fruit
Nice harvest. I bought two plants about eight months ago. They haven't produced yet but I am hoping they will in the spring.
Mmmmm, tasty..
How long did they take from planting out to first fruit Mark ?
Cheers..
Interesting, Mark! What does the dragon fruit compare to in flavor, as I have never tasted one before? It must be great to be able to grow all of those tropical fruits!
Mark you are a terrific fruit grower. You just have so many varieties of everything. Still amazed at your citrus trees. I started some seed of the dragon fruit a friend sent to me. I am hoping I can get them to continue and grow well.
That is some nice looking dragon fruit Mark. With trace elements what do you use? I like using rock dust as a soil additive and Seasol as a liquid food.
Really nice looking fruit.
I have a yellow dragonfruit too.
No fruit yet, but did get some huge beautiful flowers.
I like that the fruit have spines, if it deters pests.
Just wondering have you ever seen fruit fly damage on them ?
They look delish mate. I love the yellows but don't fancy either of the red varieties. I'd written them off until I saw your other vids and then picked some fruit up at the market
Beautiful dragon fruit, Mark!
Is this plant a Selenicereus megalanthus? Thanks
the bright yellow tells me that it is most likely an iron deficiency
Hi…interesting video. I've got the white and red fleshed dragon fruits…and thinking of buying this yellow fruit. I live here in SoCal….near LA., do you think they will bear fruit in here? My white and red are doing good here, so lm just wondering if it would be the same for the yellow one.
And how old are these yellow DF you have?
Good Day i am Max from South Africa, i have a small nursary in SA we imported Dragon fruit white flesh and red flesh from USA and it is doing great , we are looking for the Golden Dragon Fruit cuttings +- 15 to 20 cuttings can anyone help us. We will buy them from you. My email is Dragonfruitsa @ gmail . Com
I just bought a yellow dragon fruit cutting from a website and it's about 2 ft long but it looks scrawny to me compared to my other dragon fruit cuttings which are another variety. The stem on mine is like 1 inch in diameter. Can I ask what's the diameter of your yellow dragon fruit stems?
I am a commercial grower in Hawaii. Your plants are a little yellow but a little rain and some nitrogen will turn them green again. Its a slow process. A single papaya tree planted planted near your trellis would give a little shade which the pitaya like. Not too much shade or the plant will grow very skinny and fruit poorly. In Hawaii the fruit ripen in 85 days summer and 100 days winter with the winter fruits being larger than the summer.{slightly}Get ready for a little rot to develop near the base of the fruit. This is common. Your fruits look a little old on your trellis. They could have been picked a couple weeks earlier.They still taste good at that stage but i would say that they are at their best when they have just flushed all the way yellow. The fruits do have a great shelf life in the fridge or on the vine.If left on the vine the color slowly fades and the pulp becomes more translucent as it ages. The plants do have roy issues as well but i spray no fungicides. I just let the plants be and the rot will stop. They will come back to life.
How can I buy a cutting of this large yellow DF? thank you.
Hi im from the Philippines..can i buy some cuttings of this yellow variety..really love it..pls respond.thanks
hi guys im from vietnam. can u give me some cut of this yellow dragon fruit. thank u alot
When pineapple leaves turn red and then yellow, they need water. I’ve noticed it on my pineapples. Leaves were all red, but after a good rain, leaves are all back to green.
In Michoacan, Mexico we call them pitahaya (in this word h has a sound like English h)… pitaya is another kind of fruit from a very tall cactus. I love pitayas a bit more, but really sweet pitahayas are amazing too.
I grow the yellow ones. They are growing fruit. They are fine.
Hi there. Do u have the baby yellow pitaya ( dragon fruit ) plants for sell?
