In this video, I went to Ventura County to meet up with Alik Shulman to take a tour of his dragon fruit farm named Shulman Dragon Fruit Orchard. He was so kind to take me around his dragon fruit orchard and also his gardens at home, where he also grew dragon fruits alongside his farm. We harvested all the dragon fruits that were available and it was so cool to see his operation and chatting it up with him. Found out he offers free tours for the public as well.

Do you know the asunta three of white flower, could you tell me that brix is enough and how is the fruit?
Thank you Richard for sharing Alik's orchard with us. I have received many varieties from Alik in the Rio Grande Valley, South Texas, where I lost all my collection to a severe cold front. I potted and rooted everyone of his cutting and now are over 6-7 feet tall and growing like weeds. Again Thank you Richard and Alik for all of the information you share with us all.

I think that these are the healthiest looking dragon fruit plants I’ve ever seen. It didn’t seem like there were any blemishes or diseased stems at all. What’s the secret? Is it his particular climate, soil mix, feeding schedule, etc.?
Amazing farm. Would love to visit someday

What's the pros and cons of letting them grow wild like Alik vs heavy pruning into a shape of an umbrella? Will letting them grow wild produce more fruit? Is Alik letting them grow wild to sell the cuttings?

I wish I could have more helpers. Volunteers are coming. This is my full time job now. I give away cuttings to my local community and adding to the orders as a gift. Definitely needs trimming to propagate. I have 700 cuttings in the green house and will replace them soon with a new one.
Where can I but those planters from?
How big are the pots? This is inspiring
QR Codes - great idea, Alik.
Could you share fertilixing mgt thanks
What kind of fertilizer did you put
how do I get some cuttings from you? I currently have Frieda's snow dragon's seedlings that I would love to graft into one of your cuttings to speed up the fruit growth.
I have a question, why is the ends of my dragon fruit branches turning white? They’re still plump and healthy looking but turning white. Any help would be appreciated.
I have just one variety. Can you ship some rooted cuttings to Kenya?
Your dragon fruits are only in containers so what kind of fertilizers do you use and how often
Why doesn’t the grower grow DF in the ground directly? Please advise. Thanks so much!
Hey Richard, Could you please make a taste review of grape pop dragon fruit variety?
What is the size of the container you use? Please reply.
Hi Ricard, i am very new for dragon fruit. Just fell in love. Living at UK not weather for them there. But i am mad enough to try them to grow from seeds what i took from superstore fruit. First attempt was died because if cold. But i tested yellow variety and oh, i must have them. I did try many tit until they sprouted. Now i having small little once. I do want them to grow for cuttings and take them to Africa where us weather much better for them. Do its ok to growe them as they go and then cut from mother plant for cuttings. Just much easier to pack them for transfer.
Where are you located ? Do you sell cuttings?

I have a question. If these dragon fruit flower only at night, how does someone who has a farm pollinate their plants since we know that pollinators dont come out at night.
I think you have to trim more branch more food❤❤❤

It’s the same on farms as they are sold by the lb. Biggest reason because it takes a lot of work to grow them and there’s not a huge mass amount yet
I was just in Ventura this weekend and tried my first dragonfruit! I live in central CA and picked up a dragonfruit plant yesterday from a private buyer. Any tips for newbies? When should we make the trellis & transfer to a larger pot? The plant is about a foot tall. Thank you.

How many price per kg?
I have a question. I just received my first sugar dragon cutting from a shop on Etsy from Florida. I live in California so it took about a week and a half to get to me. When I got it it’s still quite green but very very thin almost as if it’s completely dried up, the fins are not even 1/8th thick. Just wondering if it’s too far gone and if there’s still hope. Thanks!

Dragonfruit can go a pretty long time without water. While they like water more often than regular cactus, it's still a cactus. A week and a half isn't that long. Just don't stick it out in full sun right away. Part shade, baby it a bit.
