Granny's gone and done it again

I have 4 windows side by side in my back room I would love to grow some dwarf fruit in there. It gets most the day sun.

You like avocados? The will grow in a pot.

I think so if you hand pollinate them. When put in rolling planters and put outside with bees when in bloom you wouldn't have too. I don't remember their blooming season. You can check with Stark Bros. Nursery out of MO for details on them. There is also a small sour type of orange that I eat peel and all. They can be used in making sauces for cooking on the grill poultry too. Calamondins. (spelling)/

Kumquats? The tiny oranges?

Kumquats are long instead of round. Very sweet. Some seeds. Eat peel and all raw of course. Spit the seeds out or take them out.

There used to be a Kumquat Festival in Dade City, FL every year during the season when they are ready for harvest. Never went. I'd like to go to one now. They make good jam and jelly. I've seen them preserved whole.

Can you eat calamondin fruit?

 

[Nomadicus]

The old fashioned sour oranges that look like sweet oranges until you bite into to one

No just one tree I think. I'll have to check. Most fruit trees are self pollinating. You only have to move the pollen with a Qtip from one place to another to get them to pollinate. You have to do the work of the bee. Apple trees are known to have two different trees to pollinate. That may be what you are remembering.
