It's a cool dragon fruit variety created by Edgar Valdivia. Make sure you have another pollen source to cross pollinate this variety. Thanks for watching.
@@RAREDRAGONFRUIT yes thank you, I have Ax, Asunta 2, Rixford, Connie Meyer, Brunie, G2, voodoo child, physical graffiti, white sapphire, purple haze, vietnamese red and dark star... I barely started growing this year so I hope Im able to do these varieties justice 🙏🏼
If they mother is self sterile, it's pretty easy. Self fertile varieties require some extra steps to avoid self pollenation. We can make a video on it this summer.
How fast is the growth rate of tricia, and have you noticed if the plant is more tolerant of cold and wet winters when it's used as a grafting stock? If the waxy coating is the main factor in its hardiness, it may not provide any advantages over other stocks if normal scions are grafted to them. But if it's less prone to root or stem rot, it could still be worth grafting with.
I haven't grafted with it yet but will try one of the bottom cuttings in a few weeks. I've used El Grullo (Hylocereus ocamponis) to graft a Yellow Palora seedling and it's starting to take off. It's a very hardy root stalk, much like Tricia. Tricia is extremely hardy and won't rot like other varieties (American Beauty). I'll try it out and make a video about it in the future.
I don't know... I am spoiled and visited farms nearby for these cuttings. I paid 8 bucks for one and the other was a gift for the channel :) I'd assume it's "rare" because I had a few people message me for cuttings today after posting this video. It's a beautiful flower and hardy variety. I have not tasted the fruit yet. Thanks for watching.
Not for it's own flowers, but it's an excellent pollen source for other varieties in my opinion. I used this fresh pollen on my LaVerne Pink and it produced the best fruit of the season in my opinion.
Here is Mrs. Valdivia explaining and tasting the fruit! th-cam.com/video/3LbsxpuNaI8/w-d-xo.html

Where can I get a cutting of tricia im in Baytown Texas
It's hard to find. I've never seen it for sale and found my 2 cuttings in San Diego.
I like Tricia very much, but it does not exist in Iran , I wish I could buy some cuttings from you.
Hi, Sorry, I am more of a collector. It's hare to find growers that ship internationally. Good luck and thanks for watching.

Not for it's own flowers, but it's an excellent pollen source for other varieties in my opinion. I used this fresh pollen on my LaVerne Pink and it produced the best fruit of the season in my opinion.
