1 Farkle berry
Farkleberry is a shrub, rarely a small tree growing to 3 – 5 m, rarely 9 m tall. This shrub is a species of vaccinium native to the southeastern and south-central United States, from southern Virginia west to southeastern Nebraska, south to Florida and eastern Texas, and north to Illinois.
Fragrant flowers resemble tiny, white bells. Inedible, persistent, blackish blue berries follow. Shiny, dark green leaves turn deep red in the fall. Bark exfoliates and is composed of grays, rich browns and reddish-browns.
This is the tallest of the genus of blueberries(wild), often called huckleberries or sparkle berries. The fruit has thin, slightly sweet pulp and large seeds. Although not palatable to humans, the berries are consumed by wildlife.

3 Flying Dragon Fruit
Flying Dragon is a bitter orange tree. Fruits are highly aromatic. Fruits are inferior to lemons, being seedy. A unique and exotic citrus relative, Flying Dragon is a deciduous, very dwarf tree with attractive, contorted branches and equally attractive, hook shaped thorns. Flying Dragon bears yellow orangish fruits that yield juice that can be used as a lemon like seasoning. In China, Flying Dragon used as a compact impenetrable hedge.
Flying Dragon bitter orange trees are winter hardy to minus 10 degrees. They need full sun to light shade exposure. Immature fruit and dried mature fruit are used medicinally in China. The rind is often candied and the fruit made into marmalade. In Germany, the juice of this fruit is stored for a two week period and then made into flavouring syrup. Flying Dragon is primarily pest and disease resistant, as well as heat and drought tolerant. A hardy, distinctive smaller orange varietal with an awesome name, Flying Dragon is a wonderful addition to the landscape.

4 Fuchsia Fruits
Fuchsia is a genus of flowering plants that consists mostly of shrubs or small trees. The berries will be either round or oval in appearance and can be 0.5–1 inch in length.
The first, Fuchsia triphylla, known to Europeans was discovered on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic) about 1696–1697 by the French Minim monk and botanist, Charles Plumier, during his third expedition to the Greater Antilles. He named the new genus after German botanist Leonhart Fuchs (1501–1566).

5 Fairchild Tangerine
The Fairchild tangerine is a cross between a Clementine mandarin and an Orlando tangelo. The skin is thin with a deep orange colour, is somewhat pebbly, and doesn't peel as easily as some other tangerines. It is juicy with a rich and sweet flavour and contains seeds. Fairchild tangerines are sometimes found with the stem and leaves still attached.
Fairchild tangerines are medium-sized, round and flattened at each end. They measure an average of 5 centimeters long and 6 centimeters wide and have a deep orange-coloured rind. The medium-thin rind is slightly pebbled in texture and clings to the flesh. Fairchild tangerines have a juicy, bright orange flesh with an average of 2 seeds per section. They have a rich flavour with low acidity, and a sweetness that increases through the season.
Mandarins and tangerines have many uses. Freshly squeezed juice can be added to cocktails or mixed with other citrus juice. The segments make great additions to salads and compotes. They also make brilliantly coloured marmalades and candied peel.

6 Fig Fruit
Fig - ficus carica
The Fig tree is native
to Asia and parts of the Mediterranean region like Greece and Afghanistan. Figs grow nearly in all tropical and sub
tropical countries. A nutrient rich
fruit, which can be consumed in fresh or dried from, figs bear their similarity to the pears in shape with a smooth skin
texture in colours like yellow to green, copper, black or purple having red,
pink or amber flesh containing small crunchy golden colour seeds. Although considered a fruit, it is actually
an inverted flower and its seeds are the real fruit. It is a nutrient rich fruit, which can be
consumed in fresh or dried form.
Figs have a unique,
sweet taste, soft and chewy texture and are littered with slightly crunchy,
edible seeds. Fresh figs are delicate
and perishable, so are often dried to preserve them. This produces a sweet and
nutritious dried fruit that can be enjoyed all year round. Figs are rich in
Vitamin B Complex (B Vitamins) and help metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins
and fats. Rich in fibre, regular
consumption of figs enhances digestive health and treats common digestive
disorders such as irregular bowel syndrome and constipation. The high mucilage content in this fruit helps
to heal and protect sore throats.
