Believe or not, I was at Home Depot yesterday looking for PVC pipes to built my dragon fruit trellises and noticed the concrete block for $7 and said to myself this would be a great way to secure a 4x4 wood post for a wood trellis. Instead of building with PVC, I am going to build wood trellises with your guide. This eliminates the need to drill holes in the pots and it seems a lot easier and cheaper than PVC method. I was freeze framing your last few videos trying to find trellis's dimension and now you have a video. This is awesome. Thanks.
Great minds think alike! It cost me about 25$ to make this trellis and as you can see from my video it took under 15 minutes to make with the assistance of my niece. I’m glad you found it helpful. Let me know how you like it once you’re finish building one!
Muddy H20 which location of Home Depot you went to ?
Thank you so much for the tutorial! I’m a novice DIY and can do simple things (no sawing.) You demonstrated an easy to do trellis. I say easy because I think I can do it. I’ll get HD or wherever I get the supplies to cut the wood and prepare my dragon fruit for it’s new home.
Thank you for sharing your videos 📹 with us. My wife's aunt gave me some cuttings from Fontana CA. I'm not sure what kind of dragon fruit it is but I am new at this. Thanks to you videos I now have an idea on how to start.
I have watched a lot of how to on dragon fruit on UA-cam , and by far yours is the best. Thanks
Olivia is such a good helper. Thank you for the video how to make trellis for dragon fruits. I will go Home Depot to check out these supplies.
Hi Michelle, you’re very welcome! Thank you for watching, make sure when you are shopping for wood. Look for Cedar wood, it’s naturally resistant in rot and will last a very long time. Lumber stores will have it. Home Depot’s wood is a bit cheaper and won’t last as long as Cedar wood.
@@GraftingDragonFruit , thank you for the recommendations.
@@GraftingDragonFruit hi, where did you buy the cedar wood at? Im living in south california.
Thank you very much for this helpful video, making trellis for DF plant. Great help from your niece, too. thanks.
You’re very welcome!
I was searching and searching this mornin on how to build one of those and you delivered. You the man! “Subscribed’
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Luving how u included family to help get this done
I am learning so much from you! Can’t wait to make my first trellis! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
I love the videos. I did a cleft graft 2 weeks ago using your video and it was successful and looks much cleaner than a previous graft I did. The trellis doesn’t work for me because I need to bring my plants indoors at winter and your setup seems too heavy but thanks for everything. 👍🏽
Hi, Ronnie Donohoo THANKS for always watching and supporting, you’re awesome! I’m so happy that you were successful with the graft! Congrats on your success! I’m glad my videos are actually helping. Keep it up, they only get easier every single time you attempt to graft. If it’s too heavy you can make the trellis without the concrete block. Half of my trellis don’t have them because of the same reason you have. I like to move my pots around depending on weather situations. They hold fine with soil and once the roots establish it really locks them in.
Buy a beach umbrella and cover it for the winter so u don't have to bring it inside
Thank You for sharing how to build a trellis.
You’re welcome!
I'm so happy that you made this video and that I found your channel! Thank you!
You’re very welcome! If you ever have any suggestions on other video topics I’m always open to hear them. Thank you for watching!
Great trellis. Just a tip a drill and screws work a little faster but to each is own
agree, the nails were sloppy
Thank you very much for sharing your skills. I used your technique but used wood deck screws and wood glue to make them a little more hurricane resistant here in miami
come fro trellis v3. Great to see how it is getting better and better
Why not use wood screws instead of nails that way if something goes in wrong you can withdraw it and start over. Also a lot easier than nailing.
I'm sure he could have used screws. That just one way of attaching wood together. However, I would have use redwood lumber for longevity. That pine wood he used will rot.
You r aswom .lv u brother. Keep growing happy gardening ❤
Thank you, very much!
Great video! Can you also mention what kind of wood used for the post? Treated or non-treated? Pine wood of hard wood? Thanks
Please dont nuke it
It looks like non grated pine.
I received only 4 cuttings and only two sprouted. They are growing very fast so I need to build one of the those trellis. Thanks again for your help
As a carpenter… you crack me up bro! LoL over kill! Love the info… haha I see you know how to grow…seems like dragons like cannabis food
Awesome! Just what I wanted to know. Love to watch your videos and I learned so much. Thank you for sharing your knowledge on dragon fruit.
You’re very welcome. I’m glad my videos are helping. If you ever have suggestions on what you’d like to learn, feel free to let me know. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel!
Hey in your description it says you’re using 1.6ft of wood for the top part… you’re actually using 1.5ft of wood.
It got me confused for a minute. I think you put 1.6 because you’re using 1 foot plus 6 inches which is 18 inches, which is 1.5ft.
Appreciate this video though!!! I’m going to my local lumber mill now to get the pieces. I was able to get TWO nice dragonfruit plants for $8 TOTAL from Home Depot 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I like the design but you'd get a better result using a drill/screwdriver and some screws. You can pre-drill everything and it would fit nicer. Screws also keep it tight for much longer. Might take a bit more time than nailing but I think it's worth it especially as it would be easier for most people to reproduce. Nailing is something that requires force and some skill something not everyone has. But everyone can drill a hole and screw a screw if shown how.
What is the exact name of the concrete and where did you buy?
🥺Why didn't I watch all your videos before building mine?!? I made it so complicated and such a headache!
Thank you for sharing your expertise. Will try to copy your build using your tip on cedar wood, found them at Lowe’s. 🤙🏾
You do a great job video and show how to take care the plant. Very helpful. I will try on myself. Thx!
Thank you for watching my videos!
Home Depot in my area doesn’t carry the cement pier with the bracket! Got any suggestions on where to buy it?
You can use a pallet, they make small ones for washing machines etc
Do you have any suggestions on a trellis or whatever that can be moved indoors in fall in cold climates?
Can u do it with bamboo?
Like if u braid em together?
Skinny bamboo i mean
you have a good helper there buddy...
Good job but pre drilled screws would have made it easier. The only thing I think you should address are safety goggles for you and Olivia. Until you see your first nail become a projectile when you slightly miss the head directly you may not understand the danger to your eyes. It is terrible to see the nail imbedded in your our someone else's eye. Sorry for the negative comment but I felt it necessary for your followers. Just use screws next time.
I’m going to try it this weekend! Thanks for the video. I just bought a voodoo child DF.
Great and easy to follow instruction on how to make a trellis for dragon fruit. I will be planting a DF cuttings and do this for my trellis. Can I get that block cement at Home depot?
Thank you so much for your videos they've been very helpful. I just started growing dragon fruits like literally yesterday :) I purchased a dragon fruit on offerup up that needed some tlc. I'm planning to use it for cuttings as it was pretty damaged. I purchased another one today and it's a pretty decent size. My question is would this trellis work for a more mature tree? I seems like the block would get in the way of the roots. Also, I live in San Diego as well, do you sell cuttings from your trees? I'm in search of the yellow one and have yet to find it. Thank you again for taking the time out to make this video.
they sell them on ebay
this is good in the field? or only in the flower pot?
Great video!!!!! On my way to Home Depot!!!
do you want to make sure the wood is untreated? Thanks man!
Where did you buy that cement block. ?
Home improvement store like Homedepot and Lowes.
Everything must be water/ weather proof as all elements of your construction will be exposed to water( rain/ wind etc)
So I think timber and all screws must be waterproof?
Is it correct?
Maybe you should stress it while making this video?
I built my trellis just like yours but I used all pressure treated woods to last longer and avoid decay and used screws instead of nails as nails get loose after a few months when the woods get drier.
Hi William, I don’t use treated wood on purpose because it’s treated with chemicals. Once the dragon fruit grows it’s roots to wrap around the trellis it will secrete the chemical in the treated wood and can end up getting the plant sick. I’ll use latches to secure the 90 degree angles to help it from getting loose. Screws are great to use, they definitely last longer. Thanks for watching!
thank you young men for information .
This is very helpful,thank you very much❤️
NICE HAMMER
How tall should the dragon fruit be to be in order to put in the pot with the post and treacle ?
Excellence .Good job.
Can this be put in ground with the cement block? If so, how deep?
Do you stain your woods from Sun damage? If so what do you use as I worry about the runner roots that leach onto everything.
I was thinking of maybe using linseed oil... anyway let us know and great work.
It was top.
Only safety glasses were missing because the girl kept her face right in the direction of the nail. (10:14).
The tip is.
just made mine thank you so much what size pot did you use😊
I wish I could find one of those concrete blocks (Also in SoCal), but home depot says nothing available within 100 miles. Also Those large pots look sturdy and affordable, where do you get those? I went to lowes and the closest thing I could find was a 1/2 of a large wine barrel.
I got the cement block at home depot Glendale location.
Awesome, thank you so much for sharing with us!
Richard, the five pieces one foot and a half wood in your trellis what size are those wood? Thanks again.
These are 2x3, you can use 2x4 if you have those available.
does the top trellis have to be cedar? or just regular pine
Congratulations on the work
Thank you!
Should you cut fresh new cuttings onto a big trellis like this? I am new to dragon fruit growing...
It's easier with fresh cutting, or young small rooted plants, and just let the new plants grow into the trellis. I found It's real hard to transplant a dragon fruit without sections breaking off.
Nice but next time put it on the floor against the wall so you won't have a accident. and you don't have to worry about it being crooked. And you only need one person. Good looking out on the tips keep up the good work .
Great and very informative video. I would like to ask you how many fruits are you expecting (average) per plant?
Hello Richard, how much for your built trellis?
May I ask where and what size the pot you use?
What kind of wood are you using?
Bro your hammer 🔨🤣🤘🏽🔥 Milwaukee ain’t got nothing on that! Noice!🤘🏽🤦🏽♂️🤣
hi friend,
can you let me know where you buy the bottom holder please?
thank you
Thanking you for the video.
@Grafting Dragon Fruit @GraftingDragonFruit what size is that block? They don't seem to be available in my area
Do I bury the cement block into the ground? Do I just place the 20 gallon container next to the trellis, then attach the Dragon fruit branches to the post with gardening tape? What’s the set up? Thank you very much.
are you in southern california by any chance? can i just buy one trellis already built from you?
Hi Phi Tran, yes I’m in Anaheim area.
do you still bury that under the soil/ how deep?
Hey Richard, I watched lots of your videos. Thanks a lot. Where do you get the 20gal containers? I am not seeing online. I would need 20 to start. Thank you
I got mine at Walter Anderson Nursery in Poway, CA
Hydrophonic stores carry them
@@visoriano4145 Thank you so much. They have a good deals.
What type of timber do you use please?
You probably already know this but if you pound your nail on the pointed end a few strokes, it will flatten the point so it's less likely to split the wood.
I don’t know these things but how would pounding the nail on the pointed end prevent wood from splitting? Don’t you want it pointed to go into the wood?
What size pot? Any link to exact pot?
Very nice informative & well narrated video. Enjoy watching your DF videos. Just wondering Where do you buy those 20 gallon black Planters Pot? Is it 20 or 15 gallon pot? I can' find those 20 gallon at Home Depot. Appreciate for any information. Thanks for your video.
Hi stven! You can find them at a local nursery or hydroponic garden store. If they don't carry them, they can order it in for you to purchase.
Yes, you are right on the dot. Found the 20 gallon similar pot at a Hydroponic shop, just 1 mile from my house. Great. Thanks for sharing the excellent information.
Hi sir. Tks for video. What kind of wood to use for trelis.
Where do you get the pots for your plants? I've been looking online for them but having a hard time finding them
You can find them at your local hydroponic garden stores or nursery. They have the 20 gallon pots that I use in my videos.
I cannot find any concrete block nail secure look like your anywhere home depot said they never carry in any home depot so where did you buy your?
Hi Junne L. Her, I have been noticing a lot of other viewers have the same problem with finding the concrete block with nail secure. It might just be the Home Depot’s in California that carry these concrete blocks. Not to worry! I am working on making a VERSION 2 of this trellis without the concrete block and still have it very stable. Please give me a few days to get that video made and ill have it up for you. Hold off on making your trellis until I release the “Trellis Version 2”. Thanks for the comment, it helps me figure out ways to make new designs for you and everyone!
i finally found it! Here's the Home Depot link: www.homedepot.com/p/29-lb-Cinder-Block-Pier-with-Z-Max-Strap-098063/202092200
@@mam564 Thanks for finding it but unfortunately sad for me cause Im in Fort Worth TX and it's not available in stores here.
@@mandiegarrett1706, check out this site. I made 6 of these and you don't need cement blocks. tropicalfruitforum.com/index.php?topic=25578.0
Merrilee M. や
That’s awesome. Do you put this inside a big pot and what size. Thanks.
You put it in 20 gallon pots normally.
Could you please make list and measurements of items needed for this project
It's in the description.
Where do you get your planter pot?
Wow, you got the videos creating trellis and post really fast, thanks so much for the video. The video was really close I was concern your niece's hand and your hand was too close and you can hammer your finger or hand, please be more safety. Thanks so much for showing us how you create trellis.
You’re very welcome. Thank you for your concern for our safety it means a lot. Luckily no one was hurt during the process of making this video. I hope you make a trellis for your garden with this video. Have a nice day!
Perfect!
What type of wood do you use? Is there any concerns of the post rotting?
Would 15 gallon pots be sufficient?
What is the size of the top of the wood ? How long is each of the wood ?
Hi Mochi 360, you can find all the details in my description if you take a look. But, here are all the measurements and supplies that you'll need.
Supplies needed:
Hammer
4x4 4ft Post
2x3 1.6ft Top Wood
Concrete Block with Nail Secure Latch
2 1/2 inch Nails
Hot my first Dragon fruit tree over the weekend and can't to build my trellis.
Also what other tropical fruit do you grow?
I have hard to find cement block, I got similar but not the same
Hi from Brrmuda. I have a problem in that I presently have my dragon fruit in a pot propped up with a piece of iron pipe. It has no ties to train it and it's already started to fruit. It's about 2-1/2 ft high. Is it too late to do v1 or v2 of your trellis at this point?
Hi Marcelle, if your think you can transfer your dragonfruit over to the new trellis without causing to much damage then is a you should try it. But if its too big to transfer into a new trellis then start over by planting new cuttings into your new trellis.
@@GraftingDragonFruit ty. I will get my husband to do it for me☺
Where around Orange county do you like to buy your black pots?
Hi. I have questions if you could help me. A seller gave me 7 cuttings of DF to root. Can I put like 4 in one 25 gallons container for them to root with a trellis in place or do I need to root each of them separately and repot them? They are too big to put in a small container. I dont want to cut them in half ( unless I have to). TIA
How did you made the Concrete Block ?
This is what I found online: www.lowes.com/pd/Basalite-Common-8-in-x-11-in-x-11-in-Actual-8-in-x-11-in-x-11-in-Concrete-Deck-Block/3624892
Hello Thank you for this great channel I would like to know the appropriate length for the height of the wooden beam above the ground I want to measure the wooden square
In da description.
About how much did you spend for this post?
It cost me 25$ total to buy all the supplies needed to make this trellis. You’ll even have extra supplies to make more afterwards so it will cost less to make your second trellis. 👍🏼
Thanks!
You’re welcome.
Its home depot have all the wood cut aready?
Hi Junne L. Her, you can get the wood at Home Depot and they will cut it to the dimensions that you need at their store.
What about decay wood what do you do?
Hi, for your 4x4 are you using a treated or untreated wood.
Hi Ryan, I'm using untreated wood. The reason is because treated wood has chemicals that maybe harmful to the plant and human consumption. Look for Cedar Wood, they are natural, very compact, and resistant to moisture.
hi I live in miami a lot of wind the post will stay
Can you use pressure treated wood !!!!
Help
No!!!
What's that concrete block with the metal bracket called? I've looked at all the home depots and lowes in my area and I cant find it anywhere
29 lb. Cinder Block Pier with Z-Max Strap (Home Depot)
It was near the cement fixes in lumbar when I looked
How much will one of these cost?
Do I need to use treated wood to prevent rot?
I never use treated wood around plants or trees that I use for food. Use good cedar or redwood. It will last long.
