Welcome to the Cloudforest Cafe, the heart of an eclectic gardening community for exotic gardening, palm and rare fruits enthousiasts, orchardists and permaculturists worldwide. Topics include growing rare exotic fruit, palms and other subtropical plants. The common thread amongst our members is an interest in the unusual and a desire to push the boundaries of what is possible within our respective microclimate. The definition of what is exotic is quite flexible, and also includes growing unusual varieties of common fruits and other plants.
