Our plant cemetery. Sometimes despite all our efforts we fail. We want to show respect to those trees and learn from our failures: too much or too little water, roots eaten by a rodent, wrong soil, too low temperatures during the winter...#subropicalgarden #subtropicalfruittrees #botanicgardens #sustainablefarming #tavira #permaculturealgarve #permacultureportugal #plantcemetary๐ #plantcemetary

Is this chocolate? ๐ซ No it's a fruit!
Can you guess the name and where this tropical fruit originated? ๐๐
When fully ripen the fruit is soft, rich and somewhat sweet. It is best mashed with a little orange, lemon or lime juice and chilled before serving. The immature fruit can be boiled and used as a vegetable, too.
Let us know in the comments, what you think it could be!

Fruit Quiz! Can you guess the name of this type of cherry and where it originated? ๐ ๐
The edible fruit is a botanical cherry. The taste ranges from sweet to sour, depending on the cultivar and level of ripeness. Its predominant food use is as a flavoring and base for jams and jellies. The fruit is high in vitamin C and a source of vitamin A. Also the leaves can be used as a substitute for tea.
Let us know in the comments, if you have an idea ๐

Fruit Quiz! There are more than 100 varieties of Bananas in this world.. ๐ can you guess the name of this one and where it originated? ๐ค ๐
It is extremely hardy to cold, drought and wind - therefore it can even survive the algarvian winter! This variety has a distinct flavour. It is perfect for cooking, especially for banana pancake. Fruits are somehow squared, grey-green when unripe... just like an elephant's toe! ๐
