Brian and All,

I've been growing Pineapple-guava and Chilean wintergreen for the past several years on my property in SE Portland. We've been enjoying a good sized crop of Pineapple-guava every year. (One plant doesn't produce as heavily as the other, so it gets threatened with being cut down every year.) We have several Chilean wintergreen plants (they really like lots of humus), but consider them mostly decorative. I have 2 Paw Paws, but they are not old enough to produce yet. I have a neighbour with two older trees which produce without hand pollenisation, although the crops sizes seem to be rather variable and the fruit small.

I have the usual apples, pears (european and asian), a cherry. I'd like to say don't underestimate the value of aronia, currents (black, golden, & red), gooseberry (and relatives), and of course all member of the Rubus family in the Portland garden. No Portland edible garden is complete, in my opinion, without Salal!

I've considered many of the other plants on your list, but they didn't find a place in my garden. Good Luck and keep us posted!
