These grow like weeds and are heat resistant in this climate. Local groceries have the gall to charge $2 per fruit.

Now just make them into wine, age it in a cask in your basement, and in no time you'll be swimming in cash. After a few seasons you should have enough to buy that $10M gold clock you've been eyeing to get out of your maintenance chores.

    USDA Agricultural zones. They’re based on the lowest average temp the climate can get. 1 is coldest, 13 is hottest.

    9b means almost never freezes except for a few nights a year and it thaws out when the sun hits. Some perennial tropical plants can be grown there as frost tender annuals.

    I’m just north of San Francisco in 9b.

    We only get these rarely at our grocery stores in the exotic fruit section and they're usually pretty expensive then. I always loved them but sadly don't get to eat them often. Would love a bag like that lol
