dragon fruit branching
« on: June 02, 2020, 01:33:52 PM »
Hey all, I've got a few dragon fruit cuttings that earlier this year peeked out above their 5 ft trellis.  e.g. Delight, Haley's Comet, American Beauty.  I was surprised that when I pruned the tops, on most I only got one new branch.  With the no-name cuttings I grew before, I'd get several new branches.  Lots of sun and proper care and plants look good otherwise.

Now, the singular new branches are getting rather long- one is several feet.  Should I prune those too and hope for more branches this time?  And/or will the plant eventually branch out from the old prune point (even if it has been several months since pruning?)
