Thank you permalink fedilink source parent [–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago* (2 children) Very interesting. I wonder if this approach could be used with other tropical fruits. Though one would need to identify a graft-compatible species with notable frost hardiness. I’m not sure on the graft compatibility but Diospyros and Persea both have temperate and tropical species and edible fruit. Ficus could be another although the most edible one is the hardiest in that genus. Morus is another although there is minimal difference in fruit quality between species from what I’ve seen. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Gnugit@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) A gold mine in the Rosaceae family. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 year ago True. Most rosaceae are already hardy but maybe hardier peaches or almonds could be worthwhile. permalink fedilink source parent
