Potential sources for them would also be appreciated. The weirder and more niche, the better. Edit: I’m in hardiness zone 13b

Some stuff I already have: Basil Mint Tomatoes Sage Lemongrass Marjoram Coleus caninus Cuban Oregano Passion Fruit Pumpkin Honeydew Avocado Cashew Coconut

Personally, I love citrus and fig trees. Figs are great because growing them is the only reliable way to get great ones

I’ve been eying some figs for awhile. I have a very small citrus seedling. Don’t even remember what fruit it came from (probably a lemon), though it’s very fragrant

Rub a leaf between your fingers. The smell can tell you sometimes which fruit you'll get. Other than that you need to wait to find out.

In terms of citrus I can recommend satsumas, my 2y old tree gave me about 40 fruits this year alone and they taste great.

Satsumas look really cool. I love mandarin oranges. Any specific suppliers you recommend?
