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.

*Updated with pics

A very dark pink to red Jamaican cherry being held over a very green citrus leaf (red pomelo). Both the berry and citrus leaf are covered in water droplets bc it was raining.
Looks like a pic taken from outer space. Bright yellow, petals frame the pic and the circle around a center that is dark maroon. There is a fuzzy staminal column that ends with a dark fuzzy stigma bordered with brilliant yellow anthers. The stigma is so dark red it is almost black. The flower is a Nkruma Tenten okra.
A purple curry leaf berry surrounded by native physalis still in yellow, papery, husks, katuk leaves, and huazontle leaves.
On a wooden cutting board is an assortment of leaves, peas, seed pods, cucumbers, radish, peppers and flowers.

29/ pitangatuba

Survives tropical storms and hurricanes very well but hail will destroy the fruit and flowers. It fruits consistently from spring to fall when it is mature enough. It does require a bit of fertilizer if you want to have consisten fruit. It does not share a pot with other plants, the roots are pervasive. Bring indoors if temps go below freezing. I water this plant everyday in summer but less in cooler months. Pest resistant. Cage plant to keep animals from stealing the fruit.

A large plump pitangatuba fruit. It is in a similar shape to starfruit but is round ball. It is a cheery light orange. Fingers are holding it up in front of a 1/1cm cage. Behind the cage is another not quite ripe smaller yellowish green berry. There are small waxy ovate leaves densely packed and the top ones are a bit sunburnt. It is growing in a dark blue pot.
