fruits for dry tropical/subtropical climate
« on: February 11, 2015, 08:38:11 AM »
Hi,

Can anyone give suggestions of species with good eating fruits for dry tropical or subtropical climate, with emphasize on the word dry. And preferably species that would be possible to grow successfully in a pot.

Dragon fruit need regular watering... I don't think they're to be confused with Cacti growing conditions and are tropical in Nature.
