There are two fruit which I am still picking right now. Mini kiwis - their taste is simply delicious - the same as big kiwi but better - more delicate. They can ripen at home, so you don`t need to look for soft ones to harvest. I already picked 3 kilos from one plant this year but next years will be much better after 20 plants we have in the orchard become mature. I was cheated 4 years ago when we planted the first mini kiwis - I bought some no-names in a supermarket and they turned males instead of females. You need one male for 5-6 female plants. This year they flowered for the first time after 3-4 years and I saw half of them were males. Cheaters! So, we planted new ones and now have about 20.
Disadvantages? Practically none - they are not preyed upon by any insects, but the only problem is spots on the skin which is also edible. But professional growers also complain about spots and encourage customers to ignore them.
The only fruit which is still growing and ripening is Goji berry - half of fruit on the plants is still green, but I hope they will ripen before winter. I also had issues with these plants - I bought and planted 2 no-name plants and left them alone coz I was busy with more important things. After 3 years it turned out a little disaster - they grew long and exuberant, but had very few small fruit. I did research and found out you need two varieties next to each other for better pollination. I got the variety called NO 1. Wow, amazing results. Now, all 5 bushes are on the verge of brewaking down under the weight of their fruit.
The taste - it is unique - sweet combined with bitter and sour. My family refuses to eat them but I have loved all exotic fruit - as usual - since childhood.
Disadvantages? None aboutr fruit but the plant itself is very invasive with its root shoots and needs constant control and checking. At first I had bought two, then I found out I had 5 after 3 years! Now I have also decided to shape them into small trees.
