Who is Juniper Hale?
Juniper Hale is the editorial pen name of How To Grow Fruits, a small independent publisher writing for gardeners across the United States. Juniper is not one person with a résumé: the name lets the site speak with one consistent voice, and we would rather say so plainly than invent a biography.
What we publish
Zone-by-zone guides to tropical, Mediterranean and unusual fruit for US gardens, patios and sunny windowsills. Every guide is researched against university extension sources, grower forums and nursery data, written for the USDA zone you actually live in, and reviewed before it goes out. Where a fruit will not survive your climate, we say so and point to the closest thing that works.
What we don’t do
We don’t sell plants, and nobody pays to appear in or change a guide. Read our editorial policy.
