Oddbean new post about login | logout @adfbf87b What is a peanut butter plant, and what usda zone are you in?
@4a3fa89e it’s a fruit that’s tastes like peanut butter plus a bit of berry. It’s sweet. I’m in zone 8/9. This plant should come inside when temps get to 40F. If you want a bunch of fruit, you need to let this plant get large. I have mine on rollers and it’s 6ft including the pot. I roll it in the garage in mid-December and keep there until March. It fruits within 3yrs from seed. https://s3.eu-central-2.wasabisys.com/mastodonworld/media_attachments/files/111/168/259/499/974/961/original/56433f3a271d0eea.jpeg
@adfbf87b if you only had space for one small fruit tree/bush inside for the winter, which would you choose?
@4a3fa89e hmmm, I do have one that is very special and I’m just trying out if it can be cloned. It’s a freak pitangatuba that might be hybridized with something else. It produces smaller but very intense, sweet berries that smell like orange blossoms and taste like CapriSun punch and lychees. It’ve been trying to root out a cutting since august. Not all Eugenias can be cloned but this one has definite progress. This first one is reserved for a trade with another dealer.
@4a3fa89e but if it roots, I can let you know if you wanted to make a reservation. It would be pricier bc it takes 4-5 months to root. Besides that, I really enjoy Jamaican cherries. I won’t have red hybrid jabos available until next spring and those are also really good. Generally when I make recommendations, it’s for the most useful and easy, those are sissoo spinach, katuk, acerola, Jamaican cherry. JC is not small though.
