How are dragon fruit seedlings sold? Price reference for one-meter-tall seedlings

In the sweltering summer, having an ice-cold dragon fruit is truly a most enjoyable thing. So some friends will wonder, how are dragon fruit seedlings sold? Roughly how much do one-meter-tall seedlings cost?

Dragon fruit is a tropical fruit that is not only sweet-tasting but also highly nutritious, combining the merits of fruit, flower buds, vegetables and medicine in one. Not only is it rich in nutrients with unique functions, it rarely suffers from pests and diseases, and can grow normally with almost no pesticide use at all. Therefore, dragon fruit is a green, environmentally friendly fruit and a health-giving nutritional food with definite therapeutic effects. It is rich in protein, dietary fiber, vitamin B2, vitamin B3, vitamin C, iron, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, potassium and more, making it a fine health-promoting fruit.

Since dragon fruit has so many advantages, the dragon fruit seedling market must surely be full of business opportunities, but that is where you would be wrong. Although dragon fruit does not sell cheaply, a one-meter-tall dragon fruit seedling costs only about 3-5 yuan. Dragon fruit cultivation has now entered a period of promotion and development, the growing techniques are very mature, and dragon fruit seedlings are easy to cultivate, so the price of the seedlings has naturally come down.

Although the dragon fruit market has already become as stable as those for fruits such as grapes and apples, dragon fruit seedlings of some well-bred varieties still sell very well. When buying dragon fruit seedlings, be sure to pay attention to the following points:

First, choose excellent varieties. That is, choose varieties with strong adaptability; such varieties generally have good cold resistance, are not time-consuming or laborious to plant, are very stable, and will not easily develop diseases such as fungal infections. For such varieties, it is best to choose ones that have been domesticated over many years and adapted to greenhouse cultivation.

Second, choose self-pollinating varieties. Such dragon fruit seedlings generally do not need hand pollination and are little affected by human intervention. Especially when planting on a large scale, they do not demand too much manpower, saving labor costs. Moreover, the deliciousness of the fruit is guaranteed, and situations such as insufficient pollination and shriveled fruit will not easily occur.

Third, when choosing seedlings, be sure to choose healthy seedlings with a root system. Seedlings with well-developed roots are easy to survive after transplanting, with a high survival rate and fast growth; generally they can bear fruit in one full year and enter the full-production period in two full years. Compared with other inferior seedlings, this greatly saves the time cost of recovering funds.

Of course, if you are growing a single dragon fruit seedling as an individual for ornamental purposes, there is no need to consider so much, and the price of a single dragon fruit seedling is relatively cheap. What deserves more attention are those fruit growers who want to devote themselves to dragon fruit cultivation; when choosing dragon fruit seedlings, they must keep their eyes open to avoid being cheated.
