ドラゴンフルーツの接ぎ木

赤皮白肉種Hylocereus undatusが台木として適していると聞く。

前回黃皮白肉種Hylocereus polyhizusを適当に赤皮白肉種に接いでみたら新芽も出てきて成功していた。前回の接ぎ木は至って簡単。切断して芯を合わせ、ずれないようにアルミ針金（径2mm）を互い違いに突き刺して固定しただけ。接ぎ木テープを断面に巻いたものも巻かなかったものもあるが、どちらも１００％で活着していた。

多湿な沖縄なので、袋を被せるのは省いた

新芽は棘から出てくるので、接穂には棘が入るようにするのは大事。

“Midnight Cereus,” photographed by Kerry Harrison. Night-blooming cereus is the common name referring to a large number of flowering ceroid cacti that bloom at night. The flowers are short lived, and some of these species, such as Selenicereus grandiflorus, bloom only once a year, for a single night. Other names for one or more cacti with this habit are princess of the night, Honolulu queen (for Hylocereus undatus), Christ in the manger, dama de noche and queen of the night (which is also used for an unrelated plant species).

How to Pick a Ripe Dragon Fruit?

Title: How to Pick a Ripe Dragon Fruit: A Guide to Choosing the Best Ones

Introduction: Dragon fruit, also known as pitaya, is a tropical fruit renowned for its vibrant appearance and refreshing taste. However, picking the perfect dragon fruit can be a bit tricky, especially for those unfamiliar with its unique characteristics. In this guide, we'll delve into the art of selecting ripe dragon fruit to ensure you enjoy the juiciest and most flavorful experience.

Understanding Dragon Fruit Varieties: Before diving into the selection process, it's essential to familiarize yourself with the two main varieties of dragon fruit: the red-fleshed and white-fleshed varieties. Red-fleshed dragon fruit, often referred to as Hylocereus undatus, features a vibrant pink or red interior with black seeds. On the other hand, the white-fleshed variety, known as Hylocereus costaricensis or Hylocereus megalanthus, boasts a sweeter taste and a pale white interior speckled with black seeds.

Now, let's explore the key indicators of ripeness for both types of dragon fruit:

Color:

Red-fleshed dragon fruit: A ripe red-fleshed dragon fruit typically displays vibrant shades of pink or red on its skin. Look for fruits with uniform coloration, avoiding any green patches, as they indicate underripeness.

White-fleshed dragon fruit: Ripe white-fleshed dragon fruit tends to have a golden-yellow hue on its skin. Similar to the red-fleshed variety, opt for fruits with consistent coloring and avoid those with prominent green patches.

Texture:

Gently squeeze the dragon fruit. A ripe fruit should yield slightly to pressure without feeling too soft or mushy. Avoid fruits that are excessively firm or overly soft, as they may be underripe or overripe, respectively.

Firmness:

Press your fingertips against the skin of the dragon fruit. A ripe fruit should have a slight firmness, indicating juiciness. However, it shouldn't feel rock-hard, as this could signify underripeness.

Appearance of Scales:

Examine the scales or spikes on the surface of the fruit. Ripe dragon fruit typically has scales that are well-defined and evenly spaced. Avoid fruits with shriveled or wilted scales, as they may be past their prime.

Fragrance:

While dragon fruit is not known for its strong aroma, a ripe fruit may emit a subtle, sweet fragrance near the stem end. However, keep in mind that the scent may vary depending on the variety and ripeness stage.

Stem Condition:

Check the stem or the remnants of where the stem was attached. A ripe dragon fruit should have a dry, withered stem without any signs of mold or excessive moisture. A fresh-looking stem indicates that the fruit was harvested prematurely.

Size and Weight:

Although size can vary depending on the variety, choose dragon fruits that feel heavy for their size. Heavier fruits often indicate higher water content and juiciness, which are indicative of ripeness.

Conclusion: Selecting a ripe dragon fruit is a skill that improves with practice and experience. By paying attention to the fruit's color, texture, firmness, appearance of scales, fragrance, stem condition, and size, you can increase your chances of picking a deliciously ripe specimen. Whether you prefer the vibrant red flesh or the sweet white flesh variety, the key is to choose fruits that exhibit the telltale signs of ripeness. So next time you're at the market or grocery store, use these guidelines to select the perfect dragon fruit and savor its exotic flavor to the fullest.

I think it's getting to be time to separate the dragon fruit. They're all growing second stems from their bases, so it's getting cramped.

I don't know if I heard it from someone, or if I dreamed it up, but I have this idea that propagating them will cause them to mature faster. From a botanical standpoint, this makes little sense, but I think it's worth attempting on one of them just to see what happens.

Side note: Yesterday I found out that in 2017 a study proved that the genus Hylocereus, which contained dragon fruits, was just a subset of Selenicereus, the moonlight cacti. So my dragon fruits are most accurately known as Selenicereus undatus.
