Julie says... Not exactly a fruit, but have you thought of pecans? They are a very attractive tree, but a bit slow growing. Lovely autumn foliage if your area is cold enough.	About the Author Julie Roleystone 29th January 2009 7:25pm #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees

peter says... hello jantina, yea pretty hot in there. a few days ago i took out the passion fruits and put them in the shade but even thats hot enough for them. all that i have in the glasshouse now are some pawpaws, dragonfruit and grumachuma. the pawpaws dont mind some heat as long as they are kept moist. most of my passionfruits i have in pots along a fence line are now like smiths crisps.
