The miniature orange tree, also known as Calamondin, is a native plant commonly harvested as a crop in the Philippines and China. It is an upright tree with very few thorns in its branches. In colder parts of the United States, Calamondin usually grows indoors as an ornamental miniature plant that produces fruits and fragrant flowers. In warmer parts of California and Florida, they can grow outdoors with extra care during colder months.
Loganberries, a vine-growing berry plant, is a bit like a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry. With a sweet-tart taste and juicy texture, they're a great choice for summer snacking, pie-making, or preserving. If you're growing your own loganberries, you need to prune your loganberry vines for healthy growth and best berry production.
"Flamboyant" is the word most used to describe hibiscus, and for good reason. This low maintenance plant comes in every size and color imaginable. While it was originally found only in tropical climes it can now be grown in northern climates up to zone four (see zone map in Resources). Whether you plant it as a specimen, on the patio or in a hedge, hibiscus will thrive with the right conditions.
Lilies, once considered too difficult for the average gardener to grow, have become a popular choice--with many options from the hybrids that have been developed. These beautiful, delicate flowers don't require much in the way of pruning. The key is timing. Prune too soon, and you have hungry bulbs beneath the surface. Remove the flowers as soon as they wither, but wait on the stems so the bulbs get the full benefits of the nutrients they provide.
