I grow jujubes in N. Alabama (zone 7) and it's been doing well. Our Ag Extension did a trial with 30 jujube trees, they planted them without adding fertilizer or water (just natural rain) to see how jujube fit into the local environment. The jujubes all did very well.
I grow pawpaw and persimmons. Native persimmons. I am not sure these are rare, though. I haven't gotten any fruit from them yet. I also grow Asian pears.
Don't you wish I knew? I got them at a big box store, and I don't recall the variety. It was before I wised up and started keeping my plant tags.
I planted 2 Asian pears last year. One I bought from a local nursery called the Shinseki. The other I had to buy online called the Olympic, a.k.a. the Korean Giant. I learned that I had to "train" the pear branches by bending them, otherwise they grow straight up. No fruits yet though.
Ha, ha, ANY fruit you can get to grow in Wyoming is rare........
Shadowwalker, I also grow citrus in containers because I still need to move them indoors in the winter. Right now I have 2 lime trees. One is key lime and is loaded with 30-40 limes but it is only 4 feet tall. The other is kaffir (or "kieffer") lime that my wife likes to use the leaves in cooking. I am ambitious this year and plan to expand to grow lemon & mandarin oranges in containers. We'll see how they'll do.
I have 2 persimmon, 4 mango, 1 starfruit, 6 goji berry, 2 citrus, 2 guava, 2 Barbados cherry, and I pomergrant. all of these are in containers. I am in texas zone 8. you can go well with fig ( not really rare) maybe the Barbados cherry. those are superfruits. 1 small cherry = 15 oranges in vitamin C. but I think they are more tropical and might freeze at 40 degrees. unless you get them indoors during cold spells
WOW some of those are very ecotic fruits you're growing there. I am interested in Star Fruits. How big is yours & can you get fruit with just one tree? I have an Asian persimmon (Fuyu) for 4 years now. This year it has ~20 fruits on it but the tree itself has not grown any bigger since I got it. Any suggestion? My sister's Fuyu persimmon tree in California is over 20 feet tall and produces hundreds of fruits every season. She lost most of it to squirrels though .
