When you have too many plants for your pond, give them to other club members or put them in your compost pile. These large shrubs provide shade for your tortoise yard and produce a fruit for you and the tortoises. The flowers also have edible petals. Pineapple guavas grow to six feet tall and about four to six feet across. They are generally available in one gallon containers.
Geraniums provide good shade and color in both upright and cascading varieties.
Both flowers and leaves are edible. This plant forms a low-growing ground cover which will be completely eaten by tortoises. Ornamental strawberry is best used in box turtle and water turtle enclosures, as the turtles will eat fruit and the bugs that are attracted to the strawberries. Put out in yards when large enough that tortoises can't reach upper leaves. Pick older leaves to feed turtles and tortoises.
