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.

54/ Chrysophyllum cainito, roxburghii and albidum / Gambeya albida
Pest resistant, tolerates extreme heat well, but not high winds. The leaves get torn, they will drop and plant will produce new ones. I keep mine sheltered. Cainito will tolerate small veg grown in the same pot but albidum won’t. Don’t have high water needs and I rarely almost never water the albidum in fall/winter. Bring indoors when temps get near 40F. Need two cainito to cross-pollinate.
