I remember one called "Hudson" (i think), which was renamed "south FL", and it supposedly will fruit well in south FL...not sure about the caribbean...I also heard of another for south FL called "winterset"...(if I recall)....sorry I don't have those now, but I have got the "south FL" ones before from Zill.
