Whoa they really got a frost on them

Great harvest. Gonna be some tasty raisins!

Your citrus trees are looking really healthy, Mike! It's great to see so many fruits on your Kiwi vine, too! I need to plant my Jenny Kiwi vine in the ground somewhere this year. I've had it in a pot for almost exactly two years, and it's in desperate need of repotting.

Everything looks great Mike. Have those Jenny kiwi gone a bit soggy from freeze damage ?

great use of a southern exposure and the enclosures youve built for the more tender stuff. that fuzzy kiwi is hardy to my zone, might have to check it out!

Fallgold seems to have a more orange tint in colouration than the Allgold , this has helped in an Identification issue

I hope none of your citrus trees have taken any damage, Mike 🤞. It does look pretty with the frost on though.

Jesus those plants 🪴 look super frozen my goodness will they survive 😳 😢! Try amd cover them with some plastic to protect them.

I would like to grow them as well🤔

The fruits and leaves look so pretty covered in frost, hopefully you won't get too much long term damage 🤞

It looks like they're dying down for the cold. Those you picked are not even fully developed or ripe yet. The fully developed will have all white seeds filled inside the fruit. Ripe ones will be yellow filled fluid sac surrounding the black seeds and highly fragrant. It makes sense when my mom complained that my sister picked a whole bag of empty ones for her. My mom was so mad.😂I was like I don't know, maybe she doesn't know how to pick them. When I picked them, I would smell for their fragrance before picking them or wait till they drop off. The ripe ones are more heavy and yellow green tone skin. If you water them regularly, they'll rewards you with lots of ripe fruits.

Beautiful grape Vines

Fever grass and lemon grass is two different thing, lemon grass is much taller.. hazel

Passiflora Incarnata is native to temperate regions of north america. It grows wild in my back yard, USDA zone 7 on the east coast. Winters are colder here than most of England. The plants usually turn yellow and die in the fall going deciduous. They explode back in the spring. Ive never seen fruits in the ones that grow in my yard. Be careful with them. In the US they are EXTREMELY aggressive growers. They are known to really take ovwr and can spread 30+ feet through underground rhizomes showing up where you wouldnt expect. You may lack the intense heat and humidity of our summers so mayne theres less risk of them taking over, just be warned they might take over!

@LoganShelton-rh3lp and @lyonheart84. Here is a reply to my post in a ‘Cold Hardy Passiflora group’ from Raphael Maier. “Ok so I am the breeder who selected the Passiflora Cooltropics Snowstar. So let me explain a few points: (1).Both Snowstar and EiaPopeia are pure P. incarnata and no hybrids. They are only selections out of seedlings. (2).Then your fruit were not hallow, they were simply not ripe. In the UK climate P. incarnata fruits need to form at the latest in July, every fruit which formed later will not ripen. They need under good conditions, 3 months to ripen. The seeds form quite late and the yellow arils (which you eat) form at the end. So, your fruits were simply far from ripe. By the way they will fall off when ripe. So, what I would advise you to do is either grow them in a greenhouse or in a really sunny and hot spot. In general, Passiflora incarnata is not well suited for the UK. The problem is not the winter cold but the lack of summer heat.

Not surprised they were hollow Mike, thats a common problem with passiflora in this country. If they had set properly I'd say they would have ripened and fallen in October / November 😁

Edulis x. Incarnata? Whats the expected cold tolerance?

tell Krysta to prune those mangoes..they aren't supposed to grow tall but grow bushy

unc they have certain avacodo that does better in cooler weather

Hay Kysta!!!

Incredible you have fruit so late, mine were finished in September / October 😱

That's a really impressive crop of Chilean guava you have there. I've only ever tasted a single Chilean guava berry, it was on a plant at the nursery in France and was delicious. Thats a really great idea to make a liqueur, I'm sure it'll taste really good too 👍🏽

Fabulous size Michael. Look forward to seeing it in the summer, fingers crossed for it flowering and fruiting for you

I will try that banana trick! I have so many cape gooseberries outside that won’t ripen in time and It’ll be below zero in a few days

They look very healthy for December Mike, hopefully they will indeed ripen up for you 🤞

It will rippen up soon for you 👍

Your tamarillo plants have done incredibly well this year, Mike. Hopefully, those fruits ripen up in your conservatory 🤞

Absolutely fabulous Mike 🤩🌱

What an amazing aquisition! Hope to see some fruits this coming fall.

Nice looking tree Mike. Not sure where you got yours from but my one came this size too. I chopped it down as it was too big. You can also do some training as it would look nice
