Come to think of it, if all these 'Edible Fruit Palms' below had good fruit production and produced good quality fruit in South Florida, USA, then much to my surprise, it's not just the Coconut that produces fruit here. It could be said that South Florida, USA is 'Edible Fruit Palm City.'
Coconut: King of the edible fruit palms, there are many different varieties. I have two wishes, wish (1) When I go to a plant festival, I want to see a Coconut fruit display, like those in the photos posted by Forum Member Caldeira. And, wish (2), if I like one or more of the Coconut fruit varieties on display, I want those potted potted coconut trees to be all there, ready to be bought.
Pindo Palm: The trick here is to find an adult (potted) fruit bearing palm, taste the fruit before buying, and having a great quality taste. Unfortunately, I expect such a 'Pindo Palm' specimen to be pricey.
'Vanuatu carpoxylon:' I wonder what's the difference between this palm and those below. Godwilling, I'll find out soon enough at Fairchild. What's the fruit quality and production here in South Florida, USA.
‘Palmyra’ Palm (Borassus flabellifer): What's the fruit quality and production here in South Florida, USA.
‘Ronier’ Palm (Borassus ethiopum): What's the fruit quality and production here in South Florida, USA.
‘Palmyra X Ronier:’ What's the fruit quality and production here in South Florida, USA.
