Hi gray, you're video is very informative especially to dragon fruit farmers. There are many farmers in our country, this is very helpful. Thanks for sharing it :)
So, do you only need to protect the pollen to test if the plant is self polinated? What happens if the flower is pollinated? Is the fruit produced a hybrid of the two cultivars? Or is it only the seeds that are crossed?
Sorry for delay. Theoretically only the seeds are impacted... And so, if your were to grow hybridized seed they would all be different plants with characteristics of the two parents... Often these traits have characteristics that you are not looking for... (smaller size, poor color, etc) But, if you hybridize your fruit you will sometimes get larger sized fruit as a result of complete pollination... Not sure about "protecting pollen"... I intend to do another pollination video this week... I'll get someone to hold the camera. Cheers

It might need to cross pollination to mark good fruits.
