Dragon Fruit support ideas needed

7 years ago

Planted a dragon fruit on the base of a big oak at the new place. I was worried it would be too shady but the plant has doubled in size in just a few weeks. I know it will probably be next year before I have to worry about supporting it, but I'm looking for ideas now so that I'm not trying to create this after the plant has climbed above where it would be easily harvestable. Any ideas? I have a general idea of what it needs to do/look like but no idea what kind of materials I would need to create it. Help?

    OOOo a hog panel cut out to the shape of the tree with a 2x4 support back to the tree would be easy. THANKS!


    Love the ideas we can share here. <3
