Most of us are familiar with temperate berries. (Note: I’m using the word “berry” in the broad sense, as in “small fruit,” and not in the taxonomic sense). Strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, blueberries … these are friendly and recognizable species.

If you’re a little more of a plant nerd, you might also be growing gooseberries, elderberries, currants and lingonberries.

But … what about further south? Like … really further south?

I talked to a very nice gal a couple months ago who lives in South Florida.
