Dragon fruit

[Jason890]

Currently I have loads of dragon fruit flowering at home
Does flowers equal fruit there is about 8 different plants
Cheers Jason

If I remember correctly these are pollinated by bats in the wild. I'd get out there early evening and hand pollinate them to ensure the fruit set - the flowers do not last long!

And, um, the ones up the tree might be a bit difficult, ay?

Thanks I might have missed the boat if they only flower for one night
There was hundreds of bees around if that helps
There was a lot down low
But would have no chance getting the high ones
Will have a look tonight or early morning to see if anymore flower

Hi Jason I leave my flowers alone let nature do the work and I get about 90 percent fruit we do have a lot of bugs around at night so I guess they do a good job. Hope yours fruit up. Dave

Yeah I pretty much just left them
When I was looking early in the morning the flowers are all still open and there are swarms off bees around them I mean lots of bees there was bees inside the flowers so surely they would do a better job then me
Anyway time will tell there was hundreds of flowers so hopefully a few turn out ok
