The vertical gardens in your colony will be an excellent space to grow a variety of vegetables and fruits, depending on the specific conditions within each biome. Here are some examples of plants that might thrive in each biome:

1. Tropical Rainforest: Fruits like bananas, pineapples, oranges, and avocados, and vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and sweet potatoes would likely do well in this environment.
2. Temperate Rainforest: Berries like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, and vegetables such as spinach, lettuce, and carrots could flourish in this climate.
3. Mediterranean: Grapes, olives, and figs are traditional Mediterranean crops that would be well-suited for this biome. Vegetables such as tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers would also prosper.
4. Desert: Dates, figs, and pomegranates are examples of fruits that can thrive in arid conditions. Vegetables like chili peppers, okra, and squash might also be suitable for the desert biome.
5. Tundra: In this cold environment, hardier crops like potatoes, barley, and herbs (such as dill, parsley, and chives) might grow well.
6. Boreal Forest/Taiga: Fruits like berries (blueberries, cranberries, etc.) and hardy vegetables like cabbage, beets, and carrots could potentially be grown in this biome.
7. Floodplain/Mangrove: Fruits such as bananas, coconuts, and mangos, and vegetables like taro, yams, and sweet potatoes might be well-suited for these waterlogged areas.
8. Volcanic: Due to the unique soil composition and heat from geothermal energy, plants like tomatoes, peppers, and strawberries could potentially grow well in this biome.

As for potential hybrids of fruits that aren't common but would be valuable to your colony's economy, you could consider developing new varieties through plant breeding techniques. This could involve crossing existing fruits with similar genetics to create new cultivars with unique flavors, textures, or other desirable traits. Examples of such hybrids could include a tropical-Mediterranean fusion fruit (e.g., a fruit combining the sweetness of a mango with the tartness of an olive), or a desert-adapted berry with a high nutritional content. By developing new and unique crops, your colony can attract attention and demand high prices for these novel products in the interstellar market.

Vertical gardens, also known as living walls, can support a wide range of vegetables and fruits, but the specific crops that thrive will depend on various factors such as climate, light, humidity, and soil conditions. Here are some options for vegetables and fruits that may do well in vertical gardens:

1. Leafy greens: Lettuce, spinach, kale, arugula, and Swiss chard are all excellent choices for vertical gardens due to their compact growth habit and tolerance for partial shade.

2. Herbs: Basil, mint, parsley, cilantro, and chives are popular herbs that can be grown in vertical gardens and add flavor to many dishes.

3. Tomatoes: Small cherry tomato varieties, such as Sun Gold or Sweet Millions, can be grown in containers and trained up a trellis or wall.

4. Strawberries: Some strawberry varieties, like the everbearing 'Seascape' or 'Ozark Beauty,' can be grown in hanging baskets or small containers.

5. Peppers: Miniature bell peppers, chili peppers, and hot peppers like jalapeños or Thai bird's eye chilies can be grown in vertical gardens.

As for potential hybrid fruits that could have economic value, it's challenging to predict new hybrid fruits as they require extensive research, breeding, and testing. However, here's an example of a hybrid fruit that has gained popularity in recent years:

1. Dragon fruit (Hylocereus spp.): This tropical fruit is a hybrid of two cactus species, Hylocereus undatus and Hylocereus polyrhizus. It's native to Central and South America and has become increasingly popular due to its unique appearance, nutritional value, and potential for commercial cultivation. Dragon fruit has a high market value and is often used in smoothies, salads, and as a decorative fruit.

Note that the success of growing any crop in a vertical garden depends on the specific conditions and techniques used, so it's essential to research and choose crops that are well-suited to your particular environment and growing setup.
