PEPINO - RED (solanum muricatum) PB3 30cm
Like the yellow pepino, but the fruit is red fleshed. Great to add a diffrent colour to fruit salads. The leaves are a more purple colour, so they add a different colour in the garden as well.

PEPINO - YELLOW (Solanum muricatum) PB3 30cm
Pepinos are a fast growing, low-lying, bushy member of the Solanum family. Best with something to lean on or climb up – banana palm, fence, babaco etc (getting the fruit off the ground stops the slaters getting them). A really delicious melon type fruit which will produce lots of fruit in early spring when there’s not much else. A good one for children, because they’re easy to grow and fruit quickly. They also make tasty dried fruit.

PEPPER (Hot Perennial) PB3 30cm
These are very hot peppers, 9-10 on a scale of 10. In fact they’re so hot their nickname is ‘the gringo killer’! Beautiful yellow peppers with black seeds which won’t cross pollinate with your other peppers because they’re a different species (which means you can save the seed of your sweet peppers). They ramble up trees or fences and last for years – they’re fairly hardy and will take light frosts, excellent up the babaco, cherimoya or banana trunks etc in the subtropical orchard.

The flowers are spectacular as well. Plant in full sun or filtered light in well drained soil, dig in plenty of fertiliser and protect from severe frost. Suitable for container or open ground.The plants need to be staked against wind.

PITAYA - Red (Hylocereus undatus, Dragon Fruit) PB3
Also known as dragon fruit and strawberry pear, this unusual fruit probably originates from Southern Mexico. It grows on a branching cactus with fleshy stems reaching from a few centimetres to 6m long in mature plants, which will put out aerial roots, and which require support. The fruit is the size of an apple, brilliant red in colour, with a texture similar to a melon, and is pleasantly sweet in flavour. Even if it didn’t taste as good as it does, it would be worth growing for the colour it can add to a fruit salad, and for the unusual way it grows. The flowers are ornate and beautiful, but bloom at night and only last for one night. Do not plant in full sun, and protect from excessive rainfall. Easily grown in a large pot.

PITAYA - Yellow (Hylocereus undatus) PB3
Like the red pitaya, but the fruit is yellow-fleshed, and reportedly more highly prized than the red fruit, though the one I tasted was less tasty. It is milder and creamier in texture.

POMEGRANATE - Seedling (Punica granatum) PB5 60cm
The pomegranate is an orange-sized fruit with a thickish skin that opens to reveal chambers of brilliant red seeds surrounded by a sac of delicious juicy pulp. Originally from China, they have long been prized in the Mediterranean. Not only do they taste and look great, but the shrub with its small orange flowers and bushy habit is very attractive. The shrub will grow to about 3m, and will grow in most soils and tolerate a temperature range from -5C to any heat we have in NZ. Too much cold will affect the fruit quality though, and a long hot summer is required to set fruit at all. Train the bush to a single trunk, and prune in winter. Fruit ripens late autumn.

Grown from seed from an excellent fruiting plant.

POMEGRANATE - Wonderful (punica granatum 'wonderful') PB 5 60cm
This is a commercially grown variety and performs well in NZ conditions, though it still does best in a Mediterranean type of climate.

ROSE APPLE (Syzygium Jambos) PB3 30cm
This is a tall tree in its native Brazil, but seems to only reach medium height here. It has attractive leaves that are red when new, and pretty white flowers. The fruit is crisp like an apple with a hint of rose flavour, smaller than an apple. It makes a delicious jam. A very good canopy plant in the subtropical orchard.

STEVIA (Stevia rebaudiana) PB3 20cm
Also known as the sugar leaf herb, this wonderful plant is used in its native Paraguay and throughout South America as a sugar substitute. It has almost none of the calories that sugar has, and can be used by people with a sugar intolerance. Use the leaves fresh or dried, or make a solution in water. It is much sweeter than sugar - I used 1/2 a teaspoon of fresh leaves to replace 2 tablespoons of sugar! The perennial herb grows freely on river banks in poor sandy soils. In the garden, give it a rich loamy soil and keep it mulched and watered. Use the leaves any time, but harvest the whole crop in autumn before the growth dies back. It will grow back in the following spring. They are cold sensitive till established.

SUGARCANE (Saccharum officinarum) PB5 70cm
Grows like bamboo, 2 – 3 m high. Can be grown very well in warm wet spots. Canes are cut back every summer and split to eat. Juice makes an excellent drink – easy to juice through a roller-type wringer. There is around a litre of juice in every stem so the potential for production of Sugarcane juice for use as drinks, sweetening for beer, wine, bottled fruit, baking, cooking etc is enormous. The flavour of unprocessed sugarcane juice is yummy! Good biomass, shelter, stock food.
