Hi Correy, is that dragon fruit in the pic growing on a treated pine post?
I didn't think they would?
Doesn't seem to mind the treated pine paling fence either? :-)

Thanks Mike, I only have grown red and Vietnam. Yellow are the tastiest though :)

Brendan. No it doesn't mind treated pin paling fence. You really want them to grow over something and hang down. I think Dragon fruit should be way more popular then what they are.

Mary I hope Enter The Dragon is followed by Hard to Kill so it truly is an Action/Drama festival at your place.Correy Mik advised 4 months for yellows and that may be true only for the coolest briz months.There is variation also according to variety as well as temp for reds and whites.
