Dragonfruit is a succulent (cactus family) plant that requires little water, little care, and little fertility but does require a trellis. Grows well in partly shady areas of the garden. Fruits range from white fleshed to dark magenta flesh. Flavor ranges from lightly sweet to highly sweet with flowery aromas. Can be grown on other trees or existing vertical structures.
