Growing Tropical Fruits Anywhere with Byron Martin

Byron Martin, co-author of the book Growing Tasty Tropical Plants In Any Home, Anywhere talks about tropical fruits you can grow indoors where ever you live.

Byron is the third generation owner of Logee’s Plants for Home and Garden and he specializes in cultivars that will perform well in a pot. Today Logee's grows over 1000 varieties of plants.
