Dragon Fruit Pitaya Zomovanao Trial

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
