Suggestions for new fruit plants
« on: July 31, 2018, 07:53:24 PM »
As I love fruit plants and am a collector...

I'm looking for ideas of other fruit plants that I can grow in my back yard.  I am looking more for plants that can be grown in 15-20 gal. containers.

I currently have:
bananas
pineapples
dragon fruit
miracle fruit
passion fruit
papaya
star fruit
sour sop
jaboticaba
fig
sugar apple

Figs!  They are perfect for container culture.

Thanks for the suggestions.

In the next month I am going to go down to PIN and see what they have.

On my list: cherry of rio grande, grumichama, loquat, pitomba, grumichama

The loquat will quickly outgrow thw 15-20 gal pot.

Also look into pitangatuba,  E. stipitata,  Barbados Cherry and blueberry for smaller pot culture.

One is not enough for a collector living in Florida, looking to fruit things in 15-20 gallon pots.
As mentioned, Many Eugenia are good for fruiting in pots as well.
