Nope, I'm growing Dragonfruit on my west patio against the house to protect it from the afternoon sun.

I grow a lot of kiwi fence will hold better they get quite heavy. I prune mine back to the two year growth to produce more fruit.

Their are a variety of names for this plant. In the last 10 years the accepted taxonomic name has become: Carissa spinarum. In Wikipedia, the common name is given by the Australian spelling, but the spelling in India, Britain, and the U.S. remains Kunkerberry.

I get 2-3 harvests a year. The one ripening in our spring is typically bland but the summer and fall crops are good eating. They never make it into the house.

Any overhead pictures in the works? Your careful planning is starting to come together. I get lucky that way occasionally.

When do you forecast the last official planting will occur?

Thanks for the pictures!

I've got a half dozen more trees to plant plus 5 planter beds and 2 sheds to build. Not sure when Google is doing its next fly-over.
