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!InstagramYouTubeWeb SiteShop the Store As an exclusive for listeners, use code THEBEET for 5% off your entire order on our store, featuring our flagship Birdies Raised Beds.
