Dragon Fruit

This plant produced six flowers earlier, but I was unable to find pollen and lost them; however, I was able to find pollen today and was able to cross pollinate them. If successfully, these will mature in 30 days. There are about 10 more flowers on the plant. I have a lot of pollen so will keep some in the refrigerator and freeze the rest. Pollen will stay fresh in the refrigerator for about 48 hours and can remain viable in the freezer for about two years. Dragon Fruit plants flower between May and September, so after these fruit mature the plant will flower once more in late July or August, so will be able to get more fruit at that time.
