Pl. tell me whether papaya, banana, gauava, strawberries can be grown in northeast balconies?

I live in an apartment on the second floor. there are high rise buildings in front of our balconies. Very limited direct sunlight but plenty of shadeless brightness. the climate is hot summers and warm winters. pl suggest me tropical flowers, vegetables and fruits I can grow in my balconies- pots, growing bags and hanging baskets. thank you

Bright light and partial sun/shade are two different types of light. If you want flowering and fruiting plants you must have more sun. Tropical foliage plants will do well. But if you want color you will be disappointed. There are a few varieties of Fuchsia that flower in the shade/morning sun.


Maybe you can arrange to start a rooftop garden, or use a small plot of land on the sunniest side of the building.


good luck
Reply:Do you live in the tropics? Strawberries are not a tropical fruit, so they are probably your best choice if you live in a place that freezes in the winter.
Reply:I live in Honduras and have bananas, papaya and guava all growing in partial sun. They don't do as well as the plants in full sun but they grow and produce. I have never tried strawberries.
Reply:Pick something else as these are full sun, tropical plants.
