    Now if only they tasted like something without adding flavors or mixing.

    There’s only one God, Yahweh, who gave us His one and only son, Jesus.

    What’s the special property of the yellow variety?



  4. AS U on September 10, 2021 at 12:52 am

    Ecuador Paloma, what’s the special property?



  5. SuperVlerik on September 10, 2021 at 12:53 am

    I love the IDEA of dragon fruit, but I’ve yet to taste one that made me think "gotta grow these". Overall, pretty insipid. Maybe there are obscure varieties less available, and which offer actual flavor? I’d love to know!



  6. shacochan on September 10, 2021 at 12:53 am

    My wife got upset when I told her how much I loved Tricia. I guess its too expensive for our budget to buy frequently.

    Trust in Jesus Christ lord and savior! Jesus loves y’all!

  25. Melammu Tumultus on September 10, 2021 at 1:17 am

    Do you sell seeds? I’ve never even heard of some of these varieties? Also I am in Zone 8A in Georgia, would they have to be brought in for the winter?



  26. Ryan Moore on September 10, 2021 at 1:19 am

  27. Olivia Barger on September 10, 2021 at 1:19 am

    I actually don’t like dragonfruit, but growing it would still be cool



  28. Kerry Ross on September 10, 2021 at 1:20 am

    The cactus is also know ad Queen of the Night because its flower only lasts the one night. My grand mother had one growing in her garden when I wad a kid but I do not remember any fruit being produced.



  29. Dolby Vlogs on September 10, 2021 at 1:20 am

  32. JuTau on September 10, 2021 at 1:24 am

    Yellow DF works like a lax for me.



  33. Adora For You on September 10, 2021 at 1:26 am

    Dragonfruit is so tasteless. I don’t get the hype.



  34. Ronnie Rowe on September 10, 2021 at 1:26 am

    Not a gardener. Have grown strawberries with the kids but that’s it. Richard and epic gardening convinced me to buy a cutting and it instantly became an addiction



  35. Sunny Jimenez on September 10, 2021 at 1:27 am

    First time I tried dragon fruit from Ecuador it was so good I ate like 5 off them. 2 hours latter running to the toilet. Now I’m starting to grow them in my back yard



  36. usern4metak3ns on September 10, 2021 at 1:28 am

    I need a friend like that. Teach me how to care and propagate fruits like that. Where do you even meet people like this?



  37. happymama on September 10, 2021 at 1:29 am

    It makes me so sad that in other countries growing your own food is normal (as it Should be) and in our capitalist society people will laugh at you if you prefer to grow tomatoes than to buy them 🤦🏻‍♀️



  38. Narendra Chettiar on September 10, 2021 at 1:32 am

    Ur dragon fruit is pink or red inside, the 1 i ate is white inside…..why?

  41. Jessica Huzvar on September 10, 2021 at 1:37 am

    What is the special property of Ecuador’s?



  42. Corey Collins on September 10, 2021 at 1:37 am

    Go to an asain market. You’ll get good tasting dragon fruit compared to the ones in the regular grocery stores



  43. Julia Yuan on September 10, 2021 at 1:40 am

    What soil mixture do you recommend for dry subtropical environment to grow these dragon fruits?



  44. Bruzzun Ath'tuch on September 10, 2021 at 1:40 am

    the first time I ate dragon fruit, I didn’t understand that I was supposed to cut it open and eat the insides with a spoon, and I ate the rind.😩

    Edit: Also.. what’s this special property of the Ecuador Palora dragon fruit?



  45. Frutas Exóticas on September 10, 2021 at 1:40 am
