Re: shade fruits in zone 9 ?
So far as shade tolerant fruiting plants go, maybe a "blackberry jam" bush or two might work. They are said to do well in dappled light.
However, not to get too far off topic, I am curious how mangosteen grow in New Port Richey (zone 9b) when I understand they are cold sensitive ultra-tropicals. I would like to give mangosteens a try, but I already have some high-maintenance plants that require much cold protection. Kind of don't have energy now to take on one more. How do you protect them or do you not have to protect them?
Thanks, Dekkard Z10a
