This Fruit Shouldn’t Exist 🍐 Looks Like a Pear, Grows Like a Berry, Better Than Both
What if one of the most flavorful, nutritious fruits ever discovered was quietly erased from modern agriculture?
In this episode of Hidden Gardening Secrets, William reveals the astonishing story of the Crossberry — a fruit that tastes like honeyed custard with almond notes, survives brutal winters down to -40°F, and yet completely vanished from supermarkets and orchards.
🌱 This isn’t science fiction.
🌍 This fruit has existed for over 400 years.
