This past weekend, we had to move a ton of plants into the greenhouse just as a precaution from the cold, but not these four fruit trees, and they still look amazing.
One: Passion Fruit Vine, hardy to 25 degrees. This batch is so lush, and the flowers are a stunning sight. The small fruit is pretty funky looking but has a delicious citrusy, tropical flavor. Great in cocktails, yogurt, and desserts.
Two: Mulberry, hardy to 20 degrees. Keep as a large bush or shape into a tree. After planting, you’ll quickly see fruit AND it produces year-round. Use in jams, granola, smoothies, or eat fresh.
Three: Star Apple, hardy to 30 degrees. The green and bronze leaves add a unique look to your fruit plant collection. Produces sweet, grape-like fruit that are delicious right off the tree. Also use to decorate desserts or in fruit salads.
And four: Grumichama, hardy to 28 degrees. A shrub or small tree with glossy foliage. Grows small dark purple fruit with hints of black cherry, jaboticaba, and grape. Generally eaten fresh.
