Title: Tropical Fruits less likely to attract & be eaten by animals & people
Post by: Mango_Seed on August 06, 2019, 11:32:44 PM

I'm interested in tropical fruits & plants less likely to attract & be eaten by animals & people. Some plants may be less attractive if the have poisonous leaves for example like rhubarb. Some may have a strong smell like mint, rosemary or garlic. Some may be not grown commercially. Some might not ship well. Some might look strange. Some may be grown in a foreign land. Some may be hard to pick when properly ripe. Some may stay green and not be noticed. Some might be unfamiliar to the general public and wildlife.

I noticed the iguana near me do not eat my mango tree seedlings, everglade tomato, mustard greens, peanuts, acai palm tree seedling or Jamaican strawberry tree fruit.

I am mostly concerned about iguana, ducks, racoons, birds, and people, but here is a website on Deer Resistant Plants and Flowers to Grow in your Garden

If you know of any other resistant edible plants I'd like to hear about it.

Ordered some seeds of CARISSA CARANDAS and afterwards discovered it was used in the Great Hedge of India. Now I have the plant to build an impenetrable hedge around my garden.
