  1. what are those metal steaks specifically called I tried so many hardware places n cant find em I only have 3 from old real estate signs thats been thrown away and the ones in bunnings arent stable enough

  2. Well put together! You covered everything I had been searching for to espalier this plant. I like the look of the wire cloth much more than the post and tire method. Do you have a video on training dragon plant to produce maximum fruit?

  3. Mark, has this withstood the test of time? I made one like it but want to know how well it works, before I attempt to move my old plant onto that trellis (the one it was on broke).

  4. I used madre de.cacao trees and other fruit trees like mango, jackfruit, soursop, pomelo.,rambutan etc. as trellis for my dragon fruits. Two of my df plants were toppled down by typhoon last month. Now, what I do is pruning the branches at the minimum so as not to put more weight on the trellis. You can see my dragon fruit plants in my small gardening channel. I have 16 varieties including the australian golden yellow variety.

  5. Looks interesting but how good it will be for production,? Give it a bit of time and then expect others to follow since you have used a lot of 'will' in your talk.
