Gardeners in USA and Canada want to grow dragon fruit in pots.

This hardy plant can survive almost every environment, from the warm

areas on the west coast such as San Diego and Los Angeles in California,

to the cold northeast, as long as the plant is kept from freezing, it

will grow well with relatively little soil, for more info on the plant

His company is call reddragonfruit.com. Notice the support structure
