Trellises

As the Dragon Fruit has strong branching stems and their aerial roots, they will cling on to any support available as the start to grow. That is why the trellises used has to be strong to support the plants. Wood and concretes poles are the more popular ones. The normal practice is to use a 4in x 4in x 5ft 6in concrete pole with a top cover of either concrete, wood, steel bars or rubber tyres to support the plants. Anyway it is up to the individual to use the types of trellises that suits him that is the most cost effective.
