Well since I see how well strawberries can do in a raised bed garden going to expand. Got these at the beginning of Last Summer

What are the small green fruits pictured with the starfruit?

I am interested in winter time fruits.

June plum or Jamaican plum it makes great juice also when it turns yellow called Golden Apple even better juice.
There's a dwarf variety that doesn't take up much space

We had some nice Jujubes last week. Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures. The key is to pick them when they are yellow but not brown yet. They are about as sweet as a grocery store apple at that stage.

After this post and doing some more research, I am planning on picking up about 3 trees each of June Plum and Jujube. From what I have researched they "should" grow where I plan to plant them in the woods in Highlands County FL Zone 9B. Apparently they both are hardy growing plants that don't need much attention.

In addition I like the small size of the fruits for wildlife and critters.

Another benefit to jujube is that it will grow without irrigation. I have seen jujube trees in abandoned fruit orchards that are still productive when many other trees have declined. They are very attractive to deer, so you may want to protect them until they get tall enough to be above the browsing zone.
