LycheeThere must be something magical in those Austrailian black sapotes, the ones I tried were ok, and I only prefer them in a milkshake with some milk and sugar added. but I have noticed in Aussie forums that folks down there just go bonkers for them. and now i see you listed it above Mango here. this may be considered blasphemy by some folks So my guess is that you guys have some tastier sweeter Black Sapote cultivars.

HAHAHASeriously though, they do have better selection of the black sapotes than we do for sure!
Hi murahilinI had no luck sourcing pommerac fruit in S FL. Almost bought the tree, but if you've seen those trees untamed....they are towering.

Nah, we've got all the others (not the next minute FL hype though), we just use them to throw at the bats raiding the KP trees

Someone said this earlier, maybe Oscar, and it's true for me as well. The best fruits are the ones eaten at their peak of ripeness, preferably fresly picked. The other day I had some cantaloupe which was excellent. And I usually don't like it much. Same thing happened with watermelon. By the way, there sure are a lot of people who highly esteem watermelon. That was surprising!Favorites nonetheless would be:PeachLycheePersimmonLoquatOrangeJaime
Why does watermelon surprise you Jaime? That's on my top 5 fruits! A good watermelon on a hot day is heavenly divine! Some of the old watermelon cultivars are also 10X better than any of the junkie supermarket watermelons available today. About frame of mind, for kids the best fruit is the watermelon stolen from the farmer's field...you know, forbidden fruit?
