Adaptable fruit
Reviewed By: Mike Mallett (Woodland, CA)
I live in the CA central valley, USDA zone 9. We routinely get 20+ 100 degree days each summer. For my climate, my 3 best fruiting plants are figs, pomegranates, and pineapple guavas. I would compare the flavor of pineapple guavas favorably to kiwis--definitely more exotic tasting! Try & enjoy!
