Hi There
I am about to obtain a greenhouse
Any recommendations for growing exotic fruit in a greenhouse.
The fruit will have to be grown in pots
Thanks,

Could you define what you mean by exotic?
I SEE, BY LOOKING BACK AT YOUR EARLIER POSTS, THAT YOU ARE IN THE SOUTH OF UK.
I AM IN THE BLEAKER REGION OF THE PEAK DISTRICT, SO WHAT SEEMS EXOTIC AND IN NEED OF PROTECTION FROM A GREENHOUSE TO ME MAY GROW WELL OUTDOORS FOR YOU.
I GROW A PEACH TREE UNDER GLASS FOR MOST OF THE YEAR, WHEELING IT OUTSIDE ON THE FEW OCCASIONS THAT THE SUN SHINES, AND IT DOES VERY WELL.
I IMAGINE THAT YOU COULD GROW A PEACH OUTSIDE THOUGH.
IN THE OLD DAYS, PINEAPPLES USED TO BE GROWN BY BIG HOUSES' GARDENERS.

If you live in Derbyshire, as I do.
They used to grow pineapples in a cold frame with a brick wall behind, this had certain bricks removed and another container running along the back in which they filled with horse muck so the heat came through the bricks and heated the cold frame. I don't suppose anyone would bother now as you can buy a big pineapple for £1.00 not worth the pong in the garden.?
What kind of greenhouse do you have?
