I just ordered a dwarf fig bush (?) called "Negronne". It is suppose to do well in containers, which is good since it will have to come inside when the temperature dips. It is hardy to zone 7. They, Territorial Seeds, will ship it in May after the frosts. I see that they also have Pineapple Guava which can be container grown. Anyone tried these?
Another name for the Goji Berry is Wolfberry. I don't think I can drag these indoors for the winter tho. I paid $20+ a lb. for the dried Goji berries and they are good. I nibble on them very slowly!!
I have been growing a "Meyer Lemon" dwarf tree for a couple of years. It now has a regular sized lemon that is ripening. Upon inspection lately, I discovered the dreaded scale so it was doused down with neem oil and dishsoap. I am keeping a better eye on it and picking off any new bugs that appear. The scale jumped from a bay laurel shrub I had indoors which has since been banished to the garage.
