Hey all, I am looking to add some more fruiting trees to my collection. I'm in zone 6b, but the greenhouse remains above 60 F year round, maxing out at 90 degrees. Max height of the greenhouse is 13 ft. Humidity doesn't get too high. I have a misting system, but it doesn't work how I'd like it to.:/
I'd love to try out some Myrciaria, syzygium, mangoes, caimito, tamarind, Eugenias, maybe even jackfruit (a bit out there, but why not try.). Trees for container culture would be preferred but aren't necessary. Other oddball small fruits are great as well.
Here's what already does well for me:
Ice cream bean- under 1 year from seed, already over 6 ft.
Pitangatuba: started out as a slow grower, but took off after a year.
monstera, Passiflora, soncoya, cherimoya, strawberry guava, soursop, blue lilly pilly- < 1 year- already almost 5ft, pomegranate- never fruited but thrives, imbe- fastest of my garcinias- surprisingly fast growers 7+ in even though they are under 5 months from seed, sundrops- very fast for me, blue java banana, achachairu, acerola.
What grows slow/Not so hotso:
Dragon fruit- just sits there/barely grows in winter, Kwai muk, Rollinia (needs more humidity), sugar apple, abiu (needs more humidity), red jabo is struggling but its probably a soil issue.
Thanks for you feedback!
