Antidesma bunius on the lower left, black sapote behind that, in the middle is my ruby supreme guava and two surname cherries. i have a dragon fruit growing up the guava also.
some muscadines on my porch
this is my back yard, the trees are in 4'x4'x2' boxes because i have so little soil in my back yard.
there is, starting from left to right ant top down, hogplum, lychee, van dyke mango, longan, lara starfruit and unknown avacado

plant them on the south side of the tree, they will get more light that way, but they should do fine they grow in trees down here in the keys.

scrubbing them under running water works too. when i was a kid we just picked the spines off and ate them, always ended up with spines in the mouth. The best tasting ones here have a berry flavor.
