This thread is about plants that I tried this year and won’t try again next year as well as ones that did really well.
East coast North America, zone 8/9, rainfall 120cm.

24/ ice cream bean tree.
It’s supposedly fruits after three years, but it didn’t fruit for me. It does poorly in tropical storms. The branches are fairly brittle and will snap easily. I have it in a sheltered place from wind, and it gets part sun. Does fine with high summer heat. It has a symbiotic relationship with ants who take up the frangrant sweet water droplets pictured.
