When all of the nodes of the dragon fruit branch are depleted do you get reed of the entire stalk or just cut it down to the next branch of the stalk to grow another new main branch ?

the branches can continue to keep growing and may bud again

That will be too long of time frame for a video lol.. Pollen becomes less viable the longer it is

Great tips. Now where can I get cuttings of Sugar Dragon? Can you sell me one? I bought two Vietnamese cuttings from you few weeks ago and they are already planted. I bought few cuttings of some unspecified variety two years ago on Amazon but they failed to produce fruit despite many beautiful blooms. Please help.

@@GraftingDragonFruit thanks for responding. I already found it, pricey ($47.26 with shipping) but went ahead and ordered it. I really want it to be able to use its polen for my other unknown variety to start producing.

If you don't have silica packs you can use uncooked rice to help keep moisture down in container

Any difference in size of the fruit by using Freeze Vs refrigerated polen? Or both give same size fruit?
@GraftingDragonFruit
3 күн бұрын
Size varies by the genetics of the pollen and fruit
I was wondering if you need to put the air absorbers in it when you freeze it, or only in the fridge? Thank you! Great video. I’ve been storing mine in the freezer wrong. That explains a lot!

Thanks for the information. What about the sugar dragon flower which you removed the pollen - will this one still get a fruit?

It will not unless it's pollinated

Richard I have Robles red and it is self fertile here in Florida. I went out of town but I knew the flowers were going to be opening and came back to find the flower had died off but has self-pollinated itself and now I have two fruit on it. And that's without doing anything at all with the flower. 🤷

Rich, I have all eight of my containers on my screened in pool patio. I don't really have any pollinators that come on the patio. But you never know.

Obviously the vacuum does a better more efficient job of getting the pollen. Is the 8 months for the frozen pollen just the farthest out that you tried it and it worked or have you tried it when it was older than that and it did not work? Thanks Richard.

Vacuum is most efficient but not everyone has one. I haven't tried further than that as the longer you go, the less viable it becomes

Question: May I use pollen of selt-sterile to pollinate another self-sterile variety or self-fertille variety? Thanks.

Yes, absolutely. You’ll need to remember if it takes by writing notes down so you can use a different kind of they fail.

What about ziplock freezer bags with silicone gel packs, will that work?? I placed pollens in ziplock bags in freezer for 1 month without silicone gel pack, thawed out in 2 hours, pollenate flowers, I got fruits. I only use Vietnamese frozen white pollens on all fruit flowers. Works for me. No need to spend money on silicone gel packs.

You’ll just need to take it out your freezer and leave it out for 15-30 mins to defrost. Once you don’t see condensation around your container it’s ready to use.
