About a week ago Jared and I took a trip about an hour south to One Green World, a nursery specializing in exotic and rare plants. We went for the kaffir lime tree, the leaves of which are used in our favorite thai soup. The tree is more than two feet tall and already has lime buds! I definitely didn't expect it to fruit this year.
We also came home with a male and female arctic beauty hardy kiwi. The fruit are the size of grapes and fuzz free, but definitely still taste like kiwi. Someone brought a bunch in to work last fall and I ate more than my share... yum. These are great because they live outside in the shade... which we have plenty of. We don't have to worry about bringing them inside in the winter (the kaffir lime tree is a little higher maintenance in that regard).
