Dragon Fruit Pitaya Zomovanao Trial

Pitaya Dragon Fruit Zamovano
Pitaya Dragon Fruit Zamovano
New Trial: This is the Dragon Fruit Pitaya Zamovanao that we have been trialling in our nursery. Purpose is we want to make sure that it crops well, Can produce fruit in isolation ( Please note we did hand pollinate from the same pitaya plant ).

Once we get fruit it was my job to taste it today.

My subjective Taste Analysis: 2x more flavour than white pearl with soft seeds which often need a lime to bring out the flavour. On a hot day like today it was very refreshing and juicy.

Look: From the photo on the inside you can see it is quite spectacular translucent purple flesh with dark crunchy seeds inside.

When will it be available: Sorry not for another year. We will use this plant to reproduce it exactly the same so you know you are getting the same plant that we trialled in our nursery.

When it is ready it will appear on our Dragon Fruit Pitaya Fruit Tree Page

So fruit fly is an example of a bad bug
they will just crucify your fruit they
infect it with maggots they make it go
off they ruin a beautiful crop so we
actually use lures so we're not spraying
our trees we're not using toxic poison
we're just putting out a tiny pheromone
bait and what that does is that attracts
the fruit fly into this trap and we trap
the fruit fly in there so one way you
can control your fruit fly is to net
your trees so you actually eliminate the
fruit fly from getting to your fruit
which is a great organic way of doing it
and another way is to use lure bait so
get some pheromone lures there are
different products on the market
you can make your own trap just plastic
bottle with some holes in it put a bit
of that lure in there and attract those
fruit fly to your bait and you'll help
to reduce the numbers in your orchard
