 l would keep the choc mint to a big pot otherwise, when it is  let loose  it will go wild and come up everywhere in your garden
 ( that is what happened to use )
 mandarins trees are nice but like oranges need lots of water and l kept forget to use citrus fertilizer  when l remember we get a beautiful crop
l like stone fruit as it cost so much   to buy in summer and l like to bottle / freeze it so l can use it all year round  
 l also try and grow other fruit too which cost a lot of money to buy and is not so easy to buy
what about a loqcuet   tree  sorry spell check not working

For me would be lemons, limes and kaffir, cherry, nectarines, peaches yellow for both, mango and blood plums, perhaps a banana and not a fruit tree but vanilla bean plant...

Now, that would be something to see - you wouldn't want to walk beneath one.  Your mind is busy on other things at the moment Amy but it's nice to see someone so young having a senior moment  :D

We are just finishing our backyard at the moment, adding fruit trees (already have a lovely veggie and strawberry patch) We have planted a Lemonade tree, Plum tree, Raspberry canes and have a kiwi fruit to put in aswell.  We haven't bothered with a lemon as my parents live 5 minutes away and have a fabulous lemon tree.  We also want to put a passionfruit in, I LOVE them, but they are soooooo expensive to buy here.  If we had a warmer climate, I'd love to have sooo many more fruit trees, including a banana!  Oh, we're at 42 degrees south  :D

I think a lemonade tree must have taps on the ends of the branches which you turn on and lemonade pours out :D

That would have to be a pigeon on steroids unless you're sending one at a time? ;D ;D ;D

Lemonade lemons are sweeter than normal lemons.  You can eat them like an orange.

Would love blueberries, raspberries but not successful in the past so don't want to spend more money on them atm. . .

I would love more than we have, but that isn't possible. I only have a lemon tree and heaps of herbs. I'd love cherry, all sorts of stone fruits, mango, fig, lime and passion fruit.
