Our dragonfruit plants grow like crazy. I've given over this corner of the yard to them, where they intertwine with our aloe plants.
We only get 4-8 fruit a year off of them, though, so last night at the local farmer's market, I found the grower who sold them to us and asked him how I could get more fruit.
Very simple, he said. Cut them back one third. It's March, do this and you'll have lots of flowers in May.
Easy peasy...some pruners, cut at the closest joint to one third of the way down (it's a cactus with thorns, leather gloves are a must), and that's it.
Cuttings in the waste bin, now just to wait until May to see what happens.
