Many of our customers from the West Indies region say they grew up eating Hog Plum fruits, and the taste brings them back to childhood.  For how easy they are to grow, we certainly recommend Hog Plum as a bulletproof addition to any Florida food forest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e______________________________________________________\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize: 15’ H x 20’ W\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSun Requirements: Full Sun\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCold Hardy: 30º F\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest Season:  Summer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering requirements: Drought tolerant once established\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Forest Layer: Canopy, Sub Canopy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Incredible Edible Landscapes ","offers":[{"title":"3 Gallon","offer_id":41416526233687,"sku":"","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"7 Gallon","offer_id":41416526266455,"sku":"","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 Gallon","offer_id":41416526299223,"sku":"","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/6815\/7783\/files\/HogPlums-FruitsOnTree.jpg?v=1752602788","url":"https:\/\/incredibleediblelandscapes.com\/products\/hog-plum-tree-red","provider":"Incredible Edible Landscapes ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
