🤌 Where can I try a rare Abiu fruit and what does it taste like?

  • 🍋 Abiu tree (Pouteria caimito), or Harvest Moon Sapote - is a must-try rare tropical fruit with a striking appearance and incredible flavor.

  • 🍋 About the size of a medium apple, Abiu ripens to a bright, sunny yellow that hints at the deliciousness inside. Beneath its somewhat thick, sturdy skin, which contains a bit of sticky latex when cut, lies a jelly-like, ultra-juicy flesh that's sweet, smooth, and completely acid-free.

  • 🍋 Its flavor is often compared to the luscious taste of Chrysophyllum cainito (Star Apple that we mentioned earlier), making it a favorite among tropical fruit lovers.

  • 🍋 Each fruit typically has one elongated seed nestled within, and Abiu is often grown from seed.

  • 🍋 Abiu is very hard to find tropical fruit tree, and you won't find this fruit in supermarkets. So the only way to taste it - to grow your own!

  • 🍋 With its vibrant color, unique texture, and tropical sweetness, Abiu is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to add a touch of the exotic to their rare fruit collection!

🏖 What is an easy growing butterfly bush for a low maintenance landscape?
  • ☀️ Cassia bahamensis (Senna mexicana) - Bahama Senna is a fantastic addition to low-maintenance landscapes, especially in Southern gardens.
  • ☀️ This hardy, compact shrub is beloved for its dense, lush green foliage and abundant clusters of vibrant golden-yellow flowers that bloom from fall to early spring.

Why getting bigger plants in bigger pots are a better choice than smaller ones

Why getting bigger plants in bigger pots are a better choice than smaller ones
🏝 Why getting bigger plants in bigger pots are a better choice than smaller ones

Stronger Roots: Bigger pots give roots more room to spread, making them stronger and healthier.
Easier to Establish: These plants adjust more quickly when planted, making them easier to care for.
Faster Growth: Plants will grow faster once planted in your garden, as their larger root systems help them absorb nutrients and water more effectively.
Better Resilience: Larger plants can handle stress, like temperature changes or less watering, better than smaller ones.

🍀 Choosing a plant in 3-7 gallon pot means a healthier, faster-growing plant with less work needed, than for 1 gal plant.
