Dragon Fruit Plant: Strange But Delicious


Connect With Richard Le:

Richard’s journey with dragon fruit started many years ago when the taste of one blew him away! In order to have easier access to them, he embarked on a journey to grow his own. In the process, he discovered that there were many other varieties out there instead of just the common Vietnamese White. This led to experimentation and creation of a technique to speed the growth process of dragon fruits through grafting. To share what he learned and discovered, Grafting Dragon Fruit was born. 

Today, his goal is to share his knowledge with everyone on how to grow and graft dragon fruit easily in their own backyard!
