I just read about the Jobaticaba on CRFG. It says each grape size fruit has 3-4 seeds so I think I'm out. The fruit would have to be outstanding to deal with that many seeds. Plus the kids are spoiled and don't like fruit with seeds.Bill

Well maybe I need to try Jaboticaba before I decide not to grow it. Is it that good? CRFG says it is delicious and fruits up to five times a year. Does anyone one here have a fruiting tree that I could try fruit from?...
I was thinking about a cherry tree also. When do the Minnie Royal and Royal Lee usually fruit? And how long is there season?Bill
Yes, I forgot to mention my Hass tree. It is small now but should eventually have a season of March thru August or later. I also had a couple of Surinam Cherries off of my bush last month. I was thinking that could be an option. But to be honest the ones I have aren't that great. They are nice in small quantities as a novelty but I don't think I would want to eat large quantities of them. Plus for optimal flavor they have a very small window in which to be picked.I was thinking of an early variety of peach. Does anyone have one that they would highly recommend? I have Red Baron for July which is supposed to be excellent.I was also considering the same cherries that you have Gary. How is the flavor?What the heck is a Plut and Aprium? Out of the fruit you listed JF which would you recommend? I know nothing about the Jobaticaba.Bill
I have tried Loquats before. I don't know if they where seedlings or a grafted variety. They where good but I think I would rather grow a mandarin instead. I have been reading about the low chill cherries. Most people are having very poor fruit set due to the trees flowering at different times. So I'm not really interested in them. When do Pakistani Mulberries fruit? Is it normally April? I tried some at the green scene and they were good. No great. Any other ideas? No one has anything fruiting right now that they would recommend?Bill
