Tropical fruit with salt tolerance

yturbe:
Can you suggest tropical fruit with acceptable salt tolerance

Caesar:
Just fruit, or vegetables too? There’s a lot of salt-tolerant vegetables, but fruits are mostly trail nibbles. Off the top of my head, I recall the following fruits: Pigface (Carpobrotus glaucescens, a little dragonfruit-like thing that supposedly tastes like a slightly salty sweet fig), Cocoplum, and Coconut. Ximenia and Cut Nut might be salt-tolerant as well, but I’m not sure, I gotta re-check. There’s more salt-tolerant fruits out there, but I’d have to check my files to remember them, and my computer’s out of commission for the moment (I’m on a phone typing this).

Not sure of the accuracy of this list but do know of Tamarind growing right on a beach.

Fazendeiro:
Actually there is quite a lot of tropical fruit wich have some salt tolerance. I've seen Cashews growing directly on the seafront. There is Ximenia americana, a little plum-like fruit, which I've seen growing on the beach. And there will be lots more...

Satya:
sapodilla is supposed to be salt tolerant, as well as annona salzmanii as the name suggests (very rare).
