What Would Be The Best Fruit/vegetable To Grow In Low Sun Area?

Posted by admin on February 2, 2010

Hi
I have an area in my backyard where i want to grow something edible, preferably fruit. The issue is the area only gets a good amount of sun in the middle part of the day, but when there is sun it is good intense sun. What would be the best thing for me to grow there?
If it helps i live in the Bay Area in California.

Can I Grow Fruit Trees Such As Peach, Apricot & Plum In The Palm Springs Area?

I’d say no. You would have to grow them in containers for starters. It would not be easy at all. Palm Springs is just too hot and dry to grow them in a landscape setting. Fruit trees such as these need a period of cold weather (temps in the 30′s or below) for a time before they will produce flowers and fruit.
I’d look for fruit trees that can tolerate the conditions, like figs or date palms, or even a citrus tree. Good Luck!
