Considering this, do dragon fruit need to be pollinated?
The dragon fruit cactus, or Hylocereus undatus, blossoms only at night. The dragon fruit cactus is capable of self-pollination, so you will only require one plant to produce fruit.
Subsequently, question is, do bees pollinate dragon fruit? Pitaya flowers are open at night, and pollinators are rarely pollinated, while artificial pollination labor is invested. The introduction of bee pollination is the best way to solve the pollination of dragon fruit.
Correspondingly, how is dragon fruit pollinated?
The flower has hundreds of pollen-bearing stamens and a single pistil which is taller and located in the middle. Cut off some stamens and spread that over the tip of the pistil (like finger) on another flower. Even cross-pollination between 2 flowers on the same plant can help the pitahaya to produce fruit.
How long does it take for dragon fruit to bear fruit?
Dragon Fruit Propagation: One year old cuttings about 1 foot long seem to work well. Cuttings may fruit in as little as one years time. You can also start Dragon Fruit Cactus from seed but it takes a lot longer for them to grow and reach fruiting maturity (It can take up to 6 years to fruit).
