Cherry of the Rio Grande - Eugenia aggregata

🍒 Don't plant cherries until you see this one!

🍒 Cherry of the Rio Grande (Eugenia aggregata) is one of those tropical fruits you don't forget once you taste it. The fruit looks like a dark ruby jewel and ripens to almost black, with a sweet, full cherry-like flavor.
🍒 Unlike the temperate cherries, this one thrives in warm climates and starts flowering as early as March, keeping the harvest going well into summer.
🍒 This little fruit tree that fits anywhere! It's slender, branching, fits neatly in limited spaces or even in a pot, yet still produces plenty of fruit.
🍒 Can a tropical cherry really handle freezing temps? Once mature, Cherry of the Rio Grande can handle surprising cold snaps down into the 20s. A tough little tree that gives you a taste of the tropics right in your own backyard!

Moringa oleifera, Horseradish tree

🌳 Moringa vs spinach: which one wins for nutrition?

✔️Moringa is sometimes called the Tree of Life, and for good reason. Almost every part is edible - leaves, pods, seeds, even the flowers. It isn't just a tree, it's like a whole pantry and medicine cabinet rolled into one.
✔️ The leaves pack vitamins, minerals, and protein.
✔️ The pods look like drumsticks and end up in curries.
✔️ Even the seeds are handy - pressed for oil or used to clean water.
✔️ And here's the bonus: it grows fast, covers itself in fragrant white flowers, and looks beautiful right in your garden.
✔️ A tree that feeds you, heals you, and makes the yard smell good.
