The fruits of the dragon vine are maturing that they can be harvested in 2 or 3 weeks. But I'm afraid that the rain can destroy the fruit. When there is too much rain and it's cold the fruit would swell and sometimes even crack.
Our dragon fruit is the purple type that is very sweet.

@Alexandoy That is interesting. I love watermelon. I would probably like dragon fruit then.

@kareng dragon fruit is nice to eat if it is the purple flesh because it is sweet.

The texture is similar to kiwi fruit but the taste is like sweet watermelon.

@Alexandoy I think there is a prickly pear cactus. I don't know much about succulents and cacti.

The plastic bag will ruin the fruit when the sun is hot.
