Congrats on the dragon fruit. Beautiful flowers, but short lived. The fruit is best and sweetest if ripened on the plant. Enjoy!
My first dragon fruited within a few months and it was in a pot. That was a few years ago. I have a few stems that fell off in the shrubs and a few others in pots. Preparing for a fall transplant to an area where I have cleared and removed a large tree. Same with new bananas.
There is a farm stand on Pine Island where the dragons are climbing high into the oak trees and they harvest quite a few fruits from them. One of my favorite fruits to grow.
The only problems I have had are the squirrels, raccoons, and opossums go after the mangoes and the dragon fruit so I have to be quick when they are ripe. Also the mangrove rats show up once in a while. All try to have parties at night.
