Puerto Rico Gardens, Part Three: Tropical Fruits

Puerto Rico Gardens, Part Three: Tropical Fruits

Welcome back, my gardening friends, to the final installment of my trip to Puerto Rico and exploration of what is happening in home gardens on the island. Today we’re covering the other typical fruits I found just growing wild in people’s backyards which, of course, for someone who lives in west central Missouri where none of these grows, I was just fascinated by this and my tastebuds were very, very happy.
