orchid cactus not fruiting

| I have several red flowering orcid cacti (epiphyllum) that are all from cuttings of one original plant. (they are all related) They have never had any fruit, and I was thinking that it is because they probably need cross pollination. The thing is, I dont know wnat to cross it with? A yellow flowering variety? Any ideas?
Has any one tasted a fruit of a orchid cacti? If so was it nice or horrible?
Thank-you |

| What you have may never fruit. Read about dragon fruit further down the page. I have orchid catcus too but these ae not the fruiting kind. Marg McN |

You can cross them with another clone, like a yellow or a white one. Not all clones can be used, but the only way to find out which ones are compatible is to try.
