Hi

Thanks

Someone else asked this a while ago. Let's see... I think I said dwarf pot-culture citrus like lemon, lime, kumquat, some orange (Must be hand pollinated. Needs cool sunny window during winter. I don't so I haven't tried.), pineapple (I'm [url=https://www.helpfulgardener.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17892&highlight=]trying to grow one[/url] right now. This one sulks if house is kept at low~mid 60's in winter.), and coffee (if you consider coffee berries fruit -- my next project :wink: But it's a shade tolerant plant -- "Shade Grown" Doesn't like too high temps in the summer. Apparently produces better -- I.e. gourmet quality flavor -- in higher altitudes -- I know, I know, you said no special conditions :lol: ). Other people offered additional suggestions, I think....

I AM also growing avocado plants from seeds, but I'm not overly confident that I could/or want to grow them to fruiting size indoors.
