🧵🪡

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.

50/ Garcinia

I grow several in this genus and the only one to grow big is the achacha (Garcinia humilis). The others have stayed tiny, year after year. In the northern hemisphere, the achacha blooms in winter so keep that in mind when it comes to sun reqs. Tolerates extreme heat well, high winds not terrible, but should be sheltered bc it doesn’t regrow leaves on a branch. Pest resistant. Can grow small veg in same pot. Bring indoors when temp gets near freezing.
