Being an Australian growing up in north QLD I never really considered there would be a better option thank Kensington Pride, but realise there are loads of varieties and interested to hear people opinions.

Terminalia is an interesting genus, we have a few in Australia, two that I know are Carpenteriae (wild peach) which is like a dried out peach I guess, could make great jam, grows in fairly arid ares. Then Ferdinandiana (kakadu plum), which I believe is the highest source of vitamin C of any know plant.

Hi, my names John, I am in southern QLD Australia. After years of living in western qld where it is super dry, I am now in an amazing climate for growing subtropical fruit (Sunshine Coast). Studied horticulture many years ago and it’s nice to get back into it on a hobby level, plenty of room so I have planted so far....
Avocados (reed and Sheppard)
Mango (Kensington pride, or Bowen specials as we call them)
Lychee
Citrus (Washington navels, Myer lemon, three cumquat,kaffir lime)
Pecan
Mulberry
Wampi
Yellow and black jabotticaba
Feijoa
Pomegranate
Guava
Tropical apple
Fig (brown turkey)
Malabar chestnut
Blake sapote
Panama berry
Kiwi berry
Loquat
Banana
Malay apple
Peach
Nectarine
Soursop
Cardamon
Miracle fruit
Finger lime
Jackfruit
Blueberry, raspberry, loganberry.

I think that’s it haha, also have some seeds on the go for jujube and goji berry. Any suggestions welcome as to what oddball stuff I may have missed (there are a few I haven’t put in yet like mangosteen and macadamia). Awesome forum by the way.
