I'm a little confused...I was going to come here to see what success, thoughts, and recommendations ATP members have had with Dragon Fruit; but, when I did a search for the term, I saw a post that shows that dragon fruit grow on a cactus:
The thread "Anyone grow Dragon fruit cactus?" in Cactus and Succulents forum

The website I was thinking of purchasing from (*if* I purchase a plant online) said that Dragon Fruit grows as a vine: https://www.rollingrivernurser...

...and all along I thought it grew as a TREE! Blinking


Clearly, I need to learn more about this plant. I would love to hear from any of you that have had experience growing this. I'm in zone 5b/6a, so I'm wondering if there's any hope for this plant here...it might be one I would be willing to bring indoors for the winter months and plop outside for the summer *if* it will still yield fruit with that method.

Has anyone successfully grown this from seeds of a dragon fruit that they purchased at the grocery store?

...and can someone confirm for me if this is a fruit, cactus, or tree? Hilarious!
