They are tropical, but fortunately it is becoming easier to find them in the supermarket. So now you know, if you come across one when you go shopping, buy it and plant it in your garden.
Some are really curious. Look look…
physalis peruviana
I remember the first time I saw a physalis peruviana. I did not know this plant, and I confess that at first I believed that it was a kind of young shrub. When I discovered that it is actually a horticultural plant, whose round fruits have a delicious sweet taste, the joy was immense. And it is that to have it, you only need sow your seeds in spring, and in just a few months you will be able to taste its fruits.
Akebia quinata
La Akebia quinata It is a very ornamental and rustic climbing shrub of Asian origin, so much so that it can withstand light frosts without difficulty. In addition, it has flowers that will perfume your garden, and its fruits have an edible fleshy pulp. What more could you want?
annona squamosa
Native to tropical America, the annona squamosa It is a fruit tree with very little presence in the Northern Hemisphere, which nevertheless is easy to grow in a greenhouse or indoors in climates where winter is somewhat cool, with temperatures slightly below 0ºC.
Averrhoa carom
La Averrhoa carom, known by the name of carambola or the fruit of the star, is an evergreen shrub native to India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. Suitable for cultivation in bright interiors, since its adult dimensions are small, growing about 3 meters high, and as if that were not enough, it resists pruning.
Nephelium
El Nephelium, better known as rambutan, is native to Malaysia and Indonesia. It is a large tropical tree, whose fruits are very similar to sea urchins. If you live in a mild climate, this is your fruit tree.
Which of them did you like the most?
Hello, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge in gardening.
I recently went to a hot region and I came across the Averrhoa carambola tree, I loved its flavor and I brought the seeds (in ripe fruit). Is there a special process for its sowing and care in a climate that ranges between 19 and 22 ° C in spring and between 7 and 16 ° C in winter?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer my question.
Hi Aniel.
You can sow them directly in a pot with universal growing substrate. Placed in a bright exhibition, they will surely not take more than a month to germinate.
A greeting.
