This is a giant species from Kahang. How I got this? There's one occassion I went outstation to Kahang and Rompin for audit. Having known that I like dragon fruits very much, the friendly and nice estate manager brought me 10 seedlings, 6 white fruit seedlings and 4 red fruit seedlings (a free lunch as they came at no cost). When come to planting, great strength is required as you'll need to dig a hole as deep as 2.5 meters to bury the hanger (usually hard wood or concrete). Then the 3 or 4 seedlings surround the hanger at 1 meter depth. I must say digging the hole was really tough. (err... I wasn't the one who dig the hole.. hiak... )
Every month, you must feed the dragon fruit plant with fertilisers. Of cos, watering is also essential. Must make sure the plants get enough water. Days continue as long as one and half year and you'll see the flower.... *wink*
Mr.Chiew asked me to call him when the dragon fruit ripe. I'm gonna give him a call these days to thank him.
Besides dragon fruit seedlings, Mr.Chiew also gave me 2 papaya seedlings (err... it's a special species from Indonesia, can't remember the name of the species). See the tree is so big and fruitful now. It's been "producing" fruits every now and then. Hmm... another seedling died cos don't know which clumsy stepped on it when the plant was still young.
This species of papaya tree is short. The fruit is sweet and it doesn't come with the smell. You know papaya come with a smell, which I really don't like it. Is it the smell of enzyme?? I don't know.... I only know it's somehow disgusting. This papaya doesn't have that kind of smell. hehe.
Err.... durian trees also got... but no interest in durian.
