Lowe's Mystery Pitahaya Begins Growth Flush
Wednesday, September 17, 2014
Mystery Dragon fruit
Well I have no idea what this is. Today I'm leaning towards hylocereus guatemalensis, I.e American Beauty or Bien Hoa Red.
Seedling Dragon Fruit
This seedling fruit survived in the winter. She is the only seedling left. I am not sure if it is red or white.
Physical Graffiti
This pitaya plant was the only piece of hylocereus that survived through the winter. On the spring, I found a 5- inch piece of physical graffiti still alive and trying to grow. I cut off the dead portion and put the cutting in a pot. It is growing nicely.
Delight Dragon fruit
The delight hylocereus is growing. The plant has been a slow grower thus far. I hope this last growth flush results in a long, strong, and healthy limb.

Delight Dragon fruit
The delight plant is finally growing. I put a trellis around it last week, so I can now accommodate long branches. The delight plant always seemed like a slow grower. I moved it to a sunnier spot and it's growing better. I hope it can put on a few long branches before winter sets in.
Tangerine tree
The citura tangerine tree looks like it is going to flower for the third time in five months. It it's growing steadily.

Citura Tangerine
The tangerine fruits are growing nicely. They are shiny and deep green. They are slightly smaller than a ping- pong ball. There are nine other teeny fruitlets from the most recent flush. Some are shiny and plumping. Others may yet abort. The whole tree looks healthy. I have discovered that I really don't need to water much, perhaps once biweekly.
