My son just got back from China this week and had some very tasty mangosteen and other fruits there. Here are some pics of fruit stands from shanghai or hong kong.

Nice photos. And well protected fruits in their socks. Probably almost all those fruits are from Thailand, except for chempedak probably from Malaysia. Citrus and kiwis may be from China. I see now turning monitor upside down that mangos say Thailand on them.

Good eye Oscar. I was wondering where those mangos came from. They weren't cheap. The large one was $10. Do you know what tropicals they grow in Hong Kong?

I think practically no fruits are grown in Hong Kong. Real estate is too precious there. Unless like NY they have some people growing on their rooftops? Hong Kong is one of the main importers, along with Singapore, of Thai fruits. They really like their fruits there and import massive tonnage.

JF, what fruit did your son like the most?

I think there is fruticultural potential in the family ;)
