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

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.

Need to make sure you pack the greenhouse with them.

Sounds like they're living in a more moderate climate, kinda like a tropical island, no need for the greenhouse.

Ginger island? Yeah, could probably plant them there too.

Sweet and sour, bright/tropical if that makes sense?
A friend made salsa with some once, that was pretty good
LordCrom@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 8d
Citrus-y. Kinda like a watered down orange.

I always thought they tasted like a green grape. tart and sweet with a kind of solid jelly texture.

Pretty bad. A friend of mine says the taste reminds him of sperm (yes, he's gay).

What climate is this in where they grow so well?
Krusty@quokk.au · 5 pts · 9d
9b+

What system is that? Tried googling it and all I got was rock climbing despite using the word climate lol
I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 9d
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.

I figured it was "global climate at 9+ billion population", ie everything is on fire

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
