There’s the banana passionfruit too. It’s yellow. It says it prefers warm temperate to cool temperate but tolerates frosts? I don’t know if it would live.

It says it’s not really available in June and July (at least on that site) and the seeds are out of stock on another site.

The first link says something about quarantine zones within Australia too 🤔 There’s another thought. I don’t know if Canada has any laws or regulations on bringing in fruit or plants from other countries so maybe check that out first before you bring anything in

You need an import license. I've actually had reasonable success finding seeds in Canada.

Where I am we actually worry more about drought and high heat. Like hopefully this year I've set up my bell peppers such that they wont drop their flowers during heat waves.

Wow, for real? That expands your options

I haven't looked up anything y'all posted here yet. But in general yea I had good luck finding things domestically.

The bambara beans I got from west africa off of etsy and customs was none the wiser.
