Just got me 2 chestnut trees at Tallahassee Nursery. One is a Chinese and the other is a Dunstan. These seem to be the most popular. I am going to plant them within 10 feet of each other cause Im running outta room and I want close pollination. This has worked well for me with other fruit and...

They do look like a lima but he called it butter bean, Maybe this is a southern term. Im not sure. and they do climb (about 6 feet)and get kinda bushy. Im sorry but that was all the info my uncle gave me. they have been growing this variety for over 40 years

Thank you Smart Red and Carol Dee. I grow 5 differnt kinds of passinvine/fruit. Three being very big and tasty.This flower sets fruit but they are small and fair to eat at best. The Fejoas(pineapple guavas) can make good edible hedges and can handle a freeze here with no problems at all. They...
