| And where can you buy them?
Rose Apple
Red Ceylon Peach
Rejoa (?)
Triple Crown Blackberries
Carson Blackberries
Jujube
Pakatani (?)
This list is taken from the amazing garden that I posted a link to in another post. The garden that I'm going to go steal. Oh, it's someplace in Orange County, which translates to Los Angeles. |

| Rose Apple, Syzygium jambos, is a Tropical tree which likes to be in a rainforest.
Maybe (?) Feijoa, Acca sellowiana, Pineapple Guava. It needs well drained soil in full sun, but sheltered from wind.

| I have jujube growing in my sub-tropical garden. In my experience it's pretty carefree once it's established.
Seeds of some of the others are available at http://www.tradewindsseed.com

| JOO-JOO-BEE Goodness gracious, I just googled, and it seems to be just what we all need! Tonic, health giver, strengthener, etc etc etc.
Looks like a 'weeping cherry tree'.

| I thought it might be Ziziphus. That is commonly used here by Chinese Medicine practitioners. |

| You're right.
Found it on a flora exotica site, along with that sour, bitter fruit that I asked about lt summer. |

| We have a Feijoa which blooms but never produces fruit... Which is a good idea because neither of us can stand the fruit which tastes, to us, like airplane glue. Could be it lacks a pollinator? Or it is too wet? They grow on N. Island in New Zealand and they get really cold there...so it isn't the cold. The flowers are incredible!!!
Your last one could be Pakalana? It is a vine...Chinese Violet or something like that... |

| The flowers, are they pretty or fragrant or profuse or? Before you said that, I was wondering why you kept the tree.
I ate jujubes when I was a kid, they're a little gummy for me now... |

| Feijoa produces well here, downcountry where it is hotter and drier. |

| Pakalana is a beautiful vine and the rather small flowers put out a huge fragrance! Well worth having in the garden as it seems to be easy to control unlike most vines here that go hog wild! Not sure I can grow anything else on your list as most of the other things such as rose apple do better at a slightly higher (and damper) elevation than mine. |

| I have tried to grow Pakalana here...and it has always committed suicide! Must be too cool for it?
