I have a spiraling Epiphyllum (curly kai, curly sue, curly lock whatever) that set fruit without pollination. It taste really sweet like a megalanthus and a taste more comolex that just rose water. It does taste a little floral but not in a bad sense. It's better than most dragon fruit I can find in Europe and I have tried every available variety. I also know that old plants get packed with fruits. Mine gave me two this year while my dragon fruit never bloomed.

@@RAREDRAGONFRUIT i used it's pollen to pollinate... A Notocactus, and the fruit is packed with seeds even if i suspect they are produced by gynogenesis. So maybe it's a good pollen donor

I have a fishbone aka zigzag plant that looks similar. Waiting for it to grow flowers some day to cross pollinate. Nice video of epiphyllums

Pretty nice bloom, actually quite spectacular.

Never really thought about it... More of a breeder these days :)

Hope seedling retain gentetics of the flower but have the taste of a good dragon fruit

Paul is this self sterile or self fertile ?

@StalkerNaturaliste

I think it's self sterile, if it was selffertile it would have been packed with seeds.

I belive SS. I cross pollenate everything. Many "self fertile" varieties make pretty small fruit compared to when pollenated.

Ooo..what are you going to name the babies from this fruit? Dragon dutchman?

Lol, I try not to name them unless they pass the taste and un rooted growth tests. I did name a seedling that is G-3 crossed with PG because it stabbed me mant times and has a long, single spine haha. I call it hypodermic
