The idea of growing fruits at home often comes with an image of a large area of land or garden with fruit trees in an orchard, but today I’m going to show you how possible it is to grow delicious fruits in the smallest of spaces – even in a container.
We’re focusing on 4 delicious fruiting plants that you can grow in containers or a small area of your backyard.
We’ll cover how to grow these plants, how to propagate them, as well as featuring and tasting the various fruits from these small fruiting shrubs.
We’ll look at Cape Gooseberries, Pepino melons, Chilean Guava and White Strawberries. There’s so much possibility when it comes to growing fruiting plants in small spaces and I hope this video give you some ideas and inspiration to have a go at home!

Dear Kalem! Congratulations of getting help! Sending you healing prayers! Love your vlogs
Have you tried Incda berry. Similar to the cape gooseberry but larger.
Love your vids – so good to have NZ specific information and tips. Thank you!
I love the Physalis group. They all come in their own paper bags.
Sixty years ago I worked in a factory making topping syrup for ice cream. We used white strawberries to flavour the syrup because they had much more taste than red ones. At the finish of the cooking we had to strain out the strawberries because customers thought there was something wrong with the product if they saw white ones. At that time, they were called white Russian strawberries.
do you have a trade me account for all you seeds and plants for us kiwis?
Sorry to hear that you've had some tricky times to navigate. I'd missed your videos and wondered what was up. Nice to see you back online here. Thanks for the video.
Love your content, well done. Where do you source all these unusual plants?
WOW…my "All the Best" comment to Kalem got deleted………???
Thanks for the Help!
Really like your videos…. Fun, and educational… With climate change and all that, I´m starating to explore xeriscaping, and plants that thrive in the dry and hot… I´d love if you could share with us your experience on that field…. I have my orchard in southwest Spain, and we can already feel the effects of climate change…. cheers
Great video, my Chilean guavas were almost all killed completely in the freak cold we had of -8c last winter so I'd say -6 is a more realistic claim. If id known i would have covered mine with a fleece 😁
My man why don't you implement electroculture? If you don't even know what I mean just search up cultivate elevate electroculture
Hi Kalem, I've watched many of your vids and have been very inspired and impressed with your passion, garden and attitude. I'm a grower too in Whangnui NZ, working in orchards and cultivating a diverse food landscape so I feel strong connection to you and your content. It was great to hear you talk about your struggles in this vid, obviously not the struggles themselves being great but because it's good to hear about real human complexity. Good on you and for supporting good mental health practices. I reckon you're a legend.
I've always wondered what region of NZ you are in?
I get these at Trader Joe’s they are delicious!!

always a treasure Kalem! I hope things continue in the up for you. Always a treat to see you. ❤
Hi, Do you know where I can get some of these seeds?
Thank you.🤤
Hi from Invercargill. Can you get these in garden centres?
Have u heard of people using copper antennas to make their fruit grow multiple times faster and bigger? Electroculture. Earth and beings run on frequencies. Your next project 🤗
Very identical but bit smaller in size version of those Cape gooseberrys grow naturally in places like river banks in my region(Tripura-India) but no one eats them because they smell really bad. But when we were kids we were used to play with them by popping them on foreheads of other kids.
Love the videos would love another farm tour again.
Cape Gooseberry is per square meter the highest yielding.
Excellent thank you!
I have cape gooseberry, loads on at the moment
Good to k ow that you can propagate cape gooseberries. I grew some last year and was only able save a couple over the winter. Couldnt get any ofther seeds to grow. They haven't flowered yet, so I d9nt think I will get anything this year. Tr8ed to grow a lot of things from seed this year with little luck.
Finally a word from you! And another great video!
Kallem i love yours garden but i need to do my invention projects for bushfire thank you for yours video Bless you GR
Sharing to everyone of Jesus Christ, He is coming back. We are spiritually saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ our Lord God and Savior.
как же я рад новому видео!) очень ждал, когда выйдет) обожаю Ваш канал 💚! очень интересно!
Thank you so much! You are awesome 🔥!
I think it would be handy to also tell people that the Chilean Guava takes between 2 and 8 YEARS to bloom and fruit.
fantastic to see a new vid Kalem. Sorry to here about the tuff times but stick in there mate the gardening community in New Zealand is a great place to chat/share life's challenges. my bonsai's help me to relax and take my mind of everything going on. big thumbs up from south Canterbury

Wow I never knew about the white Alpine strawberries😮 I love the Cape gooseberries but this year they were growing so slow and the harvest will be very little…. Love from Austria 👍
