Growing

After the flower opens and closes, fruit formation is completed and harvested in an average of 28-32 days in June-July-August-September periods. If the ripening process of the fruit coincides with the autumn period (October-November-December), the ripening period may exceed 50 days.

From May to December, the product is taken a few times. While 3-5 fruits are taken in the first year, 40-50 fruits are taken on average from the second year.

Dragon Fruit (Pitaya) buds and blooms if the general health condition and root structure is good even if the night temperature starts to rise above 20 degrees in summer months, and then ripens the fruit to be harvested. period can be extended up to 55 days. Pitaya Fruit can grow between 150 gr and 1.5 kg depending on the type. In regions where tropical climate prevails, some breeds can grow over 1 kilogram. Since it is grown in Mediterranean climate conditions in our country, the average size of many breeds is 350 – 600 gr. In our country, some breeds can grow up to 1 kg, but they are not preferred commercially.

There are multiple factors that affect the structure of Pitaya Fruit. In general, the type of the plant, the region where it is grown, food and nutritional supplements, together with the periods in which these nutrients are given, the structure of the soil, the general health status, the duration with the sun (whether it receives enough morning, noon, evening sun, etc.), the root structure of the plant, the tree's root structure. Very important details such as the age, the harvest period, how many branches the same tree grows from its root, how many buds come from these branches and the distance of these buds to each other affect the general health status of the fruit and the yield.

It is very effective in the ripening process of the fruit whether the female organ does enough pollen exchange from the male organs in a healthy way, especially in the types of self-pollination during the flowering period and in the types that are completely in the form of manual fertilization. In about fifteen days, a bud grows and matures and becomes a flower. It has only one night and a very limited time to get enough pollen because the flower opens completely around 22:00 in the night and starts to close when the sun starts to rise in the morning. In the process after this pollen exchange, the flower fades and begins to dry day by day, and it remains in this dry state at the tip of the fruit until the fruit turns pink and is harvested. It is necessary to save the ends of the dried flower from the fruit by cutting it during the ripening periods of the fruit. Most of the time, these dried flower ends can mold and damage the fruit. When it dries without waiting, it is necessary to cut it and separate it from the fruit.

Our fruits have no mechanical damage or bruising and green spots caused by manipulation, fungus or insect damage.
