Dragon fruit, also known as pitaya, is a tropical fruit that requires specific conditions for successful commercial cultivation.

Here's a general guideline for growing dragon fruit commercially

Look at how 15 people all around Australia plant the same dragon fruit cutting. There is no wrong or right! its what works for you in your climate zone.

I'd like to introduce Gary and Tina from Coutts Crossing a rural village in the Clarence valley, in Northern NSW.

He has 70 plus dragon fruit varieties growing.

We would like to introduce you to Lesley a Dragon Fruit grower in Emerald. Emerald gets around 559.7mm of rainfall per year most of that rain fall is in the wet season. 

In winter Emerald gets lows of around 9c and in summer the mean temperature in around 34c. 

I like how Lesley has used old baths and companion planted for water efficiency.

I too love planting around the chicken coop they naturally make a rich organic dust that coats all surrounding plants. I see this as a natural foliage fertilizer. 

Thank you for sharing.
