that's a vanilla bean orchid... not really a "fruit"... mine is about... 9 feet tall... but i'll probably never see a bean pod produced... unless i buy an enormous greenhouse... also, i've been trying to grow one for years, and this time is the first time it gets this big... but i'm sure it will die out in the winter like they all do...
you can grow anything here... but it just takes a lot of work... i have some nice vandas that are growing like crap, but flowering and growing... but i need to water them 4 times a day when it's ultra hot... LMAO...
you been to the huntington library...? i was there last weekend, and in their greenhouse, a cocoa tree has a fruit... also a jack fruit and the giant vanilla orchid has a lot of flowers... it's amazing....
