For the Dragon fruit growers on here, can you tell me anything about this Dragon ?

we grow two huge dragons on great trellis's on wheels....( East TN). We do get fruit. I also am growing several from cuttings a super nice guy on here sent me. A local transplant from Florida has put this one on Marketplace.

A dragon is such a huge plant to dedicate that much space for, can anyone tell me their experience growing this variety ?

I just received my first dragon fruit yesterday. So I have NO experience.. it is a yellow dragon fruit variety but not sure which one.
Where did you find a trellis on wheels?
 
I received a black africanis cutting a couple of weeks ago. Trying to root it now.
I already have two trellises in half wine barrels and I'm not planning on adding more soon.
This one and a couple of others will instead be grown in a 10 gal pot with a low soil line. I plan on having it hanging off of the sides but it's a first for me so we'll see how it goes
 
Selenicereus 'Black Africanis' is a cultivar from Indonesia. It's ancestry is so far unknown, although Selenicereus is strictly native to the western hemisphere tropics and near tropics. The fruit skin is red or blackish-red, and the pulp is dark red - similar to S. guatemalensis.
