Oh, the SHAME!
Dragon fruit grew to become a fad on the West Coast of California a number of years in the past. They had been most likely at all times round, however had beforehand been uncommon. When they inexplicably grew to become extra fashionable and customary, they did so down south first. Their reputation migrated to the Santa Clara Valley a number of years later. It most likely won’t go a lot farther although, since they’re delicate to frost.
It will not be a nasty fad, at the very least relative to most others. Dragon fruit, which is also called pitaya, occurs to be very straightforward to develop and propagate from cuttings. Locally, it wants safety from frost, however not more than different fashionable tropical vegetation. It recovers from minor frost harm fairly effectively. Pruning scraps might be rooted and grown as extra vegetation for associates and neighbors.
Of course, I dislike fads. I’m not impressed by the fruit, which could lack taste…
