The dragon fruit (Hylocereus sp.), a new introduction in India, is highly valued for its reported neutraceutical properties. It is a climbing vine cactus species with most beautiful fruit in the family Cactaceae that has beautiful flowers and is nicknamed as ‘Noble woman’ or ‘Queen of the Night’. The juicy flesh of the fruit is delicious in taste. Five different collections of dragon fruit are collected and established at the experimental farm of Central Island Agricultural Research Institute. As dragon fruit is climbing cacti, support is essential for their growth and development. Our scientists used concrete poles as trellises for durability of the plant as the life of the vines is as long as 20 years. The concrete pillars are supported by a square structure in the top to train the vine for bearing purpose. Since the island is high rainfall zone, soil erosion is the common problem and hence scientists have made concrete square structures as base for maintaining the media that supports the growth of the vine.
