love Leo’s design with U-posts trellis anchor system. Also love the top trellis calculating to use a whole 2x4x8 to eliminate waste plus the cord & hose inside the canopy frame for extra support. Brilliant, permanent, tidy, professional. I watched Alik Shulmans farm build, his tour with Richard from Grafting Dragonfruit and loved his suggestion of getting QR CODE labels for his dragonfruit to record, track of and maintain his dragonfruits. All are definitely on my list.
This is amazing. Thank you for sharing. Greatly appreciate
Thanks for watching :)
Amazing, I’m rethinking my wood posts here in Miami, things rot quickly and I’m thinking concrete! Thank you love your channel Paul
Thanks for the kind words and for watching. I like using concrete.
That concrete set up is perfect for this area in Hawaii where the lava bed is just a few inches under the soil.
This has been the solution I have been looking for the past 10 years.
Thank you for this video.
I just used the standard 4x4 post with square shaped top part and at the bottom I made a square with smaller cuts of wood. It’s still very cool to see how unique everyone creates their trellises.
Lot's of ways to support those dragons!
beautiful - so many of these Dragon Fruit people are in San Diego County
Yes!
All great ideas. ! Looking good bro!
Thanks for the kind words and for watching.
Excellent farming, home fashion to bring in the beautiful farm
Thank you for the kind words
Do you place iron bars into the half inch pvc pipes at the top to support the weight of the dragon fruit branches?
I stuff them with concrete :)
What kind of lumber do you use?
We get a lot of wind here in Florida
Any suggestions
Concrete posts are stout. Gray Martin makes some stout trellises too.
My new way is, plant a fast growing class 1 in ground hardwood, come back 2 years later plant d fruit. Cut top of hard wood at some point. Cost me 2.50 aud and a lot easier than digging a hole plus can use the top of the tree as mulch. Will rot eventually but something like a bloodwood should last 20-30 years. They last as fence posts for much longer than that. By then If I’m still around I will probably want to hit the whole thing with a mulcher and change varieties anyway.
Interesting strategy, thanks for sharing. 20-30 years is beyond the life of productive plants I am told by long time growers... The oldest plant I have is froma cutting back in 1999. So it is 24 years old sometime this year.
@@RAREDRAGONFRUIT Some of mine have stopped growing or flowering and developed a yellow colour. Dont know how old they are, i didnt plant them. I think its root disease introduced by roots dying back after a heavy prune, age maybe a cofactor though.

Thanks for watching!
Do you have Townsend pink cutting.?
I have it but recommend other pinks if you live in a colder climate
I know many people plant in pots some farms plant directly in ground . Why not plant directly in ground when you are anchoring pot to ground
I have the same question? To me it isn't clear if his intent is to grow plants exclusively in the pot or also in the ground with this design. He has a lot of drainage holes in the pot so the roots should eventually root into the ground. Problem is there is concrete underneath the dirt under the pot so the roots are now in standing water. Would be nice if drainage issues of this design were discussed more.
@@steverogers9275 my guess is that it’s easier to water and fertilize in the pots plus drainage than if they were directly in ground . Everyone’s soil is different too
@@jxsanc1238 and Pocket gophers
Pocket gophers
He did mention a gophers problem… maybe that’s the reason he uses pots
Is there a reason they can't be trellised taller, like 6' or 7'? Will they grow up and over an arbor?
They can, however, they will be harder to hand pollenate and to harvest the fruit. Imagine being on a ladder late at night trying to pollenate a flower.
Paul, what is the price point for your design?
I care most about long term and strength. A concrete post is about the cheapest way to make a sturdy trelllis.
How tall for a u-post does Leo use? I imagine 5-7ft?
I believe 5 feet if i remember correctly.
i'm groing in indonesia and put them right in the ground as opposed to pots, i'm wondering why don't you just plant them directly in the ground? is your soil no good? or is it in case they need to be moved?
Gophers are a huge problem here.
@@RAREDRAGONFRUIT oh wow. here it’s just birds and monkeys but they dont take much 😊
What country this
San Diego, CA USA
I don't think it will produce big fruit
Go see for yourself :)
Wasting time
Not learning a new strategy?
@@RAREDRAGONFRUIT I think VinceW may have meant he was wasting time learning a new strategy
All were great! But Leo (2nd designer) had my favourite design of all supports I’ve seen. Sheer brilliance!! Epitome of rot-proof study permanent support structures. The hose idea was extra cool! I took my notes on all his measurements. Thanks for your efforts and bringing so many options for us.
watching this video gives me severe anxiety. very easily, you can poke your eyes out on those rods. its bad design, accident waiting to happen
