same light, soil, and water amount... The only difference is - fertilizer schedule!

believed that a great Ceiba tree stood at the center of the earth... Would you
like to try growing it in the center of your backyard? Considering it will
take decades to grow this big...

Ficus pumila:
you won't believe these leaves and fruit!..
by Alex Butova, the Witch of Herbs and Cats
...If you visited tropical and subtropical countries, you probably have seen this curious plant covering fences and walls and even whole
buildings, looking like an ivy... But if you looked closer, you might have noticed something unbelievable about this plant... Do these small tiny leaves, and these large
glossy leaves, and these fig-like fruit too... do they all belong to the same plant?!.. No way!..
Q: My mom had to remove a hedge for some renovations and after
being heartbroken about losing my little bird haven, I've decided to plan on a fruit bearing hedge that offers some privacy and places for the little fledgling to wait for food. Any suggestions? I was thinking blueberries or citrus but open to any ideas.
A: Below are a few suggestions for a fruit bearing hedge planted
with fast-growing, tropical species. They will contribute to a nice edible
landscape for both your family and the birds - they will be very happy!
Larger size hedge (small trees), grows full-size within 1
season:
- Loquats
- Dwarf Mulberries (very cold hardy too) such as Dwarf Everbearing
Citrus is probably not a good idea, not bird's favorite, and blueberries require a special acidic soil here in Florida, so they will need extra maintenance, special soil, and heavy mulching.
