Dragonfruit is the slowest crop to start: about 9.5 days to its first fruit. After that the plant stays in its bed and fruits again about every 2.5 days, 1 or 2 at a time. It grows wild as a cactus in the Desert.

Growing
- Sow it with the Hoe in a tilled bed and keep the bed watered. It takes about 9.5 days to its first harvest in clear weather, then fruits again about every 2.5 days.
- It likes the sun: fastest in clear sunshine, slower under cloud or a roof, and slow at night.
Harvest
Reap it with the Sickle. A harvest gives 1 to 2 Dragonfruit and 1 to 2 seeds back (1 more seed at Heirloom), and releases 2 Fire, 2 Wind spirits at Plain grade (more at finer grades: see Crop Grades). The plant stays in its bed and fruits again. If a ripe fruit is left more than 3 days, only the fruit rots and the plant starts again.
Where to get seeds

Notes
- Dragonfruit is not hardy: snow stops it and frost hurts it in open beds.
- It is good to eat raw.
