5″ Dragon Fruit

If you’re looking for a truly other-worldly fruit to grow, look no further than dragon fruit.

Best planted in spring, dragon fruit cacti can grow up to 20 feet tall and produce aerial roots that allow them to cling to surfaces, creating their creeping, climbing habit. Dragon fruit cacti can take up to seven years to produce fruit from seeds, but if you plant a cutting, you may have a harvest within one to three years.

Not local to Canada these plants need full sun here and sandy soil to be well drained.

A fun plant to add to your growing collection.
