What fruits grow in Iceland?

Question

What fruits grow in Iceland?

Answer 1

A few types of berries grow out in the nature in Iceland, such as blueberries, crowberries, brambleberry, red currant and a couple of more types that I don't know what are called in English. Blueberries and crowberries are the most common ones.



Some other kinds of fruits are grown inside greenhouses in Iceland. You can find fruits like tomatoes (yes, tomatoes are technically fruits, against popular belief), strawberries, bananas, apples, oranges and such, but only the first two are grown in substantial quantities.

Answer 2

Here in Iceland we actually don't have blueberries. The ones we have are called bilberries but it is a common misunderstanding that they are blueberries, as the name wasn't translated but the berries named in Icelandic for their color. Blueberries grow on bushes but bilberries on shrubs close to the earth. Small wild strawberries are found most everywhere during the summer and as another answerer said we also have crowberries.



That's about it for naturally occurring edible fruit but some of the more hardy types of apple trees and similar fruit trees can bear fruit in gardens here, especially in the southern part of the country. Then of course almost any fruit can be grown in greenhouses.

Answer 3

They can grow many kinds of exotic fruits, for example bananas, in their greenhouses, which are kept warm with the geothermal energy they get from geysers.
