Do a test and dont tip. You will get more branches once they start to bend down, and your main branch will give you fruit sooner. Good luck.

I ve been not tipping and getting good results I wait till tall enough then slight twist and bend over & it starts sprouting new growth at the bend. I will post a update later tonight n post a link so you can see my pots and the difference between topping. You save the idle time waiting 2/3wks for the new growth to start

Bom dia lindo pé de pitaya linda Copa muito bom gosto de plantar pitaya e frutifiras eu sou o Edinaldo do canal subindo o Rio vim pra somar muito bonita mudas

Yo my man you need to remover the sugar dragons and put then in there own pot only sugar dragon Arizona purple or voodoo child should be in a pot together maybe just sugar dragon alone it grows less vigorous then the other variety’s it’s one of the slowest growing believe it or not it’s genetics focus on one branch at a time as to where other ones will be trying to grow multiples arms at a time your need to repot them while there still small my man trust me don’t put them I that pot move them before they reach the top and try and put 2 or 4 sugar dragons all in one pot do not mix that variety I’ve had a headache because of that and now it’s too huge to pull out but behind my other variety’s

Yo my brother

They make 2x4 out of plastic. Check ewing irrigation or siteone.

Good idea. However, the Simpson post cap at the bottom of the post connecting to the bricks is not intended to provide a moment connection. That’s your weak link in your trellis.

The HD's are probably the red-fleshed,s self-sterile Physical Graffiti, but without a positive ID you can only call them NoID. Physical Graffiti is delicious with large fruit, and quite hardy in this climate. Let me know if you'd like any other varieties - I have lots of cuttings from many varieties now.

New subscriber here... good luck🎉

Great concept. Agree, you want the trellis to be clean looking in your garden. Great video and new subbie as I keep getting ppl donate cuttings. It’s just wrong to adopt plss as Mrs and not look into how to grow them. Thankyou for a great video. 🌵🌵🌵👏🏻👏🏻

Give your top branches a chance to continue growing up, they will bend over by themselves and will branch out new branches. on your new branches, If you let them grow over 13 inches or more you can twist and bend at the base to train them the way you want them to grow on your trellis. Good luck.

I also get 36” long cuttings from Alik at Shulman Dragon fruit that way once they root I can transplant into my trellis pots and I also bought 2 led fixtures to keep mine growing all winter. My cuttings I bought 25 -3gal clear pots and filled them with cuttings and trying to get them to 36” before moving into bigger pots. I use tubtrugs biggest pot it 20gallon and use the deck concrete post footing which eats up a lot of root room 🤔I may upgrade to 40g pots going forward

Take all lower growth off, esp that huge sucker it’s sapping all the energy at the bottom, & slowing the top unless your growing for cuttings ? Once I see it’s not a bud it comes off, I’m in it for fruit, once mine top the trellis I grow out 3to 4 branches then I let it go wild and branch off the ones falling down, mine get about 12-20” then slow and fatten up and that usually signals top sprout nodes at the horizontal parts of my branch and I let them go up and then pull them over. Glad you over come the slug, they r looking much better 😊

Looking good.

Looking good.

Glad you got them little craps.

Yup biggest fear in moving my pots outside 😳🤬😵😱😔😨🧨time to go commando on those awful bugs. Maybe try rock salt and packing tape a brim the pot with salt. On the outside I know the soft slugs here on east coast turn inside out with table salt 🧂

Looks like Ants. I spray mist my plants with Spectracide Bug Stop from Home D. Works really well. Just a light mist on the plants prevents bugs and ants from getting on them. You can spray the potting soil as well. Read or research the product for your own to see if you want to use it first.

Hi, why not use cedar or redwood for the 4x4 and 2x4 legs? Save the $ and times.

I wonder if you sprinkle epson salt around top of ur pot like a martini glass. I know the soft body slugs hate salt here on east coast. Also sluggo plus insecticide 😉 I use a product called cal carb from extreme gardening. I wonder if you foliar spray with it, that may deter slug/snail feasting??

Good video New coming subscriber ❤❤❤

Biggest Difference between perlite & pumice is pumice is permanent, perlite will break down n compact to dust 😉

PLZ SND MEE 2 PLANT

Joe, good luck. Hope you get the result you are looking for. I started rooting 2 month back and have has 3 rains on them. The rain pushed my rooting much faster for me. Happy Holidays.

Thanks for sharing. Have a great Thanksgiving!!

Good luck. I would like to wait a year or two to find out they are bad.

Amazing . Appreciate

@Dragon Fruit Dude,the material you forgot to mention also done by other people are,burlap covering the post areas for the airial roots to cling to& climb as well -the goal to train the stems to shoot straight up the post as fast as it's able from growth?.

Great video! All great varieties. I've gotten a lot of fruit from all but Palora, which is still too young yet. But even the self-fertile varieties can have a hard time setting fruit, as their pollen viability seems to depend on vine age, nutrition, blossoming time, time in the season, and temperature and humidity. Maybe in a more consistently warm climate they'd do better. I've noticed that there is a lot of conflicting information on the web as to which varieties are really self-fertile and self-pollinating or not, and that seems consistent with my observations that different growing conditions affect pollen viability. So, even for the self-fertile varieties I've had better success if I hand pollinate using pollen from a reliable source, like an undatus variety (Vietnam White) or Sugar Dragon if possible.

The weeds in your back yard make it look like your soil type is primarily an alluvial clay; are you in the San Francisco Bay area? I am, and i've been successfully growning a lot of varieties.

Wow Wonderful Cactus ~ Thank you for good sharing LIKE 11 My friend, have a good relationship 😊

Great topic to bring attention to. When I was a beginner to dragon fruit, I was unfortunately fooled by the same problem. I've since learned that the plants on the left are indeed polyrhizus, while the plants that I ended up buying on the right are guatemalensis hybrids: either American Beauty or Physical Grafitti. PG is better than any polyrhizus plant I think, but it was still an unfortunate experience that should be corrected by the big home improvement stores.
