Richard, always interesting & informative videos- thanks!!

Richard you’re a genuinely good dude. I love the videos.

Congratulations!!!!!!❤

Today, I watched episode 1-8 of growing dragon from cutting and then your big harvest season 2023. I really enjoyed the content you provided, it is excellent and very profound. I learnt so much. Dragon fruit from seeds was an eye opener. All the best and I will reach out on your channel as I begin growing an interest for this crop and fruit. Thank you so much!

I love that you always tale the time to elaborate on details of each variety, process, quirks, tips and tricks. I learn so much from your videos.

You’re so good with sharing your knowledge of how to care for Dragon fruit plants. I’ve really learn a lot from you that I followed exactly your instructions when I first started in 2021, this is the second year that I enjoyed the fruits. Truly appreciate you Richard, thank you. I’d look forward to see the color of the flesh of these dragon fruits that you’ve just harvested. God Bless you and your family.

Richard, You just answered one of my questions whether different varieties could be grown together on the same container as you have shown how you combined two different varieties/strains (if it applies to plants lol) in the same container. I have grown my collection from one variety to now 5 varieties. So inspiring. It shows how much you enjoy caring and growing the dragon fruits. Thank you

I like your teaching videos......... You are the best dragon teacher......

Love from india ❤... Here we also grow dragon fruits 😋....

A few days ago I went to buy 15 gallon pots the add said “$2 a pot…you must buy 30 at least” so I notice he grows dragon fruits…I ask about the dragon fruits to the guy selling the pots…and he says “you want to try them?” He cuts two of them one white flesh and the other red he hands them to my wife and I….then he cuts other fruits from the other trees and gives them to us….I was blown away by his sharing ways….

I have nearly 30 varieties(most are still 3-4 feet in length) and I've been writing down date and pollen used. From 8 flowers, now I have 3 successful that set fruit.

Richard, thanks for your videos...love them all. How long does it take for the seeds to germinate?

Richard, I am preparing to order my first cuttings:: Physical Graffiti, but what should I select for a cross pollinator that is also good to eat? I am in 9b so heat and cold tolerant are important. I don't know how different the variety needs to be in order to be valid for cross pollination.

Feel like pouncing on the rich harvest. Richard ! are you going to eat them all by yourself ? Obviously, you should , for the great pains taken to grow and create new ones. Happy culmination. ❤😊

Hi Richard. Have you found the cross pollination of sugar dragon results in consistently smaller fruits, other than the one example with A5 in this video?

Bro you should have a website to sell the cutting, that will be better than waisting them

Awesome harvest. While watching I was developing questions to ask but you answered all of them in the video. Very helpful tips for those interested in growing these, especially how long til harvest and how to keep track of everything you do on the plants/fruit. Excellent video.

Another question - some of the branches are yellow, should they be cut off or do you just leave them?
