☀️ Have you seen a yellow jasmine?
  • 💟 One of the few jasmines with yellow flowers is Jasminum mesnyi, or Japanese Jasmine, also known as Primrose Jasmine.
  • 💟 Rare and beautiful. This unusual jasmine features large, vibrant yellow flowers that stand out beautifully against its dark green foliage.
  • 💟 Fast growing and vigorous. It's a valuable plant in landscaping for its fast growth, dense foliage, and ability to form a lush, bright cover.
  • 💟 Easy to grow. Japanese Jasmine is incredibly versatile - it grows wonderfully in mass plantings, can be pruned to create a small hedge, or allowed to trail over fences and walls.
  • 💟 Trim it more! The more you trim it, the bushier it becomes, forming a dense "cloud" of greenery with cheerful yellow flowers scattered throughout.
  • 💟 Whether you're looking to add color, create a natural screen, or cover up an unsightly area, Japanese Jasmine is a fantastic choice that brings both beauty and utility to any garden!

🤌 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!
