Is 5 hours of sunlight enough for dragonfruit?
maybe I can let them grow up and over the roof area (15ft) ...then they will get more sun.

If you have some palm trees you can grow them up the trunks.So, then I would just need to build a ring/crown around the trunk at a certain height so the limbs can hang over?
I have been having problems with fruit fly maggots. Got these very cheep on ebay [ ~$5.60/50 ] & I am testing but seems like may not be big en ought; was hard to get on but that do to the scale on the fruit.The pore size of the netting is very small, perhaps spider mites could get in? Also wonder if heat build up will be a problem?
The bags are 5 X 7 " & the netting very fine/ bags used for gifts
You can cut anywhere. The size of your pieces will determine how fast they'll grow to maturity. If you make a small enough piece, it will revert to a juvenile state where new growth is thin and fuzzy rather than with thicker thorns.
