Look what came in the mail today!! I finally found an awesome nursery close to home. Dragon Fruit Baby ( photo / image / picture from Ren2012's Garden ) The ever elusive passion fruit!!! ( photo / image / picture from Ren2012's Garden )
Soooooo excited!!!! I hope they do well. They will get stronger in their pots through the winter. I will plant them outside in the spring. You guys should take a look at this nursery. They packaged them so well they weren't even stressed and they are reasonably priced. I have had plants arrive in such bad shape that I had to nurse them back to health before I could enjoy them. These guys were nice and snug in their package. http://www.floridahillnursery.com/
I had to do an internet search on that Dragon Fruit! Amazing. About how long do you think it'll take it to bear fruit? Passion flower vines grow pretty well here... and I've actually had very small fruit on it. But the conditions just aren't right for the fruit to mature. Please please please keep us up to date on the growth of these "special deliveries".
Your new babies are so healthy considering that they came through the mail. I hope they grow on and produce lots of fruits for you.
Thanks guys!! Cherylad, I need two dragon fruit plants to make fruit. I ordered the 2nd one last night. I wanted to make sure the nursery was a good one 1st. I am hoping they do well over the winter so they can go in the ground this spring. I am afraid to plant them now as I want them as strong as possible before their 1st winter. Our winters are mild but I don't want to take any chances.
Good luck! I look forward to watching it flourish. It's so much fun to see all the different types of plants/flowers/fruits/veggies, etc from all over the world.
I'm sure you will look after them well and give them everything that they need. I look forward to you showing us how they progress over time, good luck
The 2nd dragon fruit tree came in today!!!!! Perfectly wrapped like the last two. I love how they tape them into the box to help keep them from getting beat up. He's already in his pot. Lets see how they do!!
