Sunquat
Miracle berry
Coffee
Tea
Yerba Mate
Black Pepper
true Cinnamon
Red-stemmed Sugar cane
Variegated Vanilla
Kiwi (zone 7 hardy)
Figs...nearly any variety
Paw paws
Rosa rugosa
if anyone can help out, please contact me.
Thanks
Dave

Sunquat - what is that?
Miracle berry - almost common at nurseries further south from you.
Coffee - it will need shade in your summer and a greenhouse in the winter. Don't buy the indoor ornamental cultivars sold in nurseries - grow it from imported seed.
Tea - One of my relatives in the Philadelphia suburbs bought a 1-gallon size Camelia sinensis (Tea) from a local nursery.
Yerba Mate - what is that?
Black Pepper - both black and white pepper are made from the berries of the Chinese pepper vine.
true Cinnamon - grows in your greenhouse year-round.
Red-stemmed Sugar cane - import from Florida.
Variegated Vanilla - grows in your greenhouse year-round.
Kiwi (zone 7 hardy) - see One Green World Online Catalog (http://www.onegreenworld.com/).
Figs...nearly any variety - most of the figs I grow will die in your location.
Paw paws - see One Green World Online Catalog (http://www.onegreenworld.com/).
Rosa rugosa - blaeck. You'd like Loquat better.

I don't know anything about varieties of Figs but the one my mother has
growing has survived the last two bad winters and produced fruit. It is not
so big even, maybe 6 foot.

The reference given in the Wikipedia article is to the UCR Citrus collection. Here, the curators state that it is most likely a Mandarinquat: sunquat (http://citrusvariety.ucr.edu/citrus/sunquat.html)
