Exotic Crops:
These are crops that are not normally grown in Ireland as they are not believed to be suitable for the climate. However, many of these (for example, pecans, almonds, grapes, peaches, apricots, olives and chillies) can be grown in polytunnels or greenhouses. Some growers (particularly in the UK) have found that it is possible to grow some exotic plants (such as grapes, tea and coffee) outdoors.
