Quickest producers from seed?

[DSotM]

Thank you all for the continued suggestions. I love the idea of Surinam cherry...although opinions on the taste seem to be disappointing. For that reason I’ve decided to avoid it. I’ll look into pb tree

poha
mulberry
naranjilla
cocona

as for taste of suriname cherry they can be bad but I have a 2 year old zill seedling that when bordering overipe tasts like mango peach cherries and has a truly amazing level 5 flavor)

Aina, I’d like a clone. That sounds marvelous haha!

Plant in the shade or North facing.
What Papaya are growing in Fresno, How old?

Thanks guys. How about woody trees? I’m growing papaya and golden berries. Any tips on encouraging golden berry flowering?

[Bush2Beach]

Suriname Cherry and C.O.R.G. could work.
Many of the suggestions are coming from area's with much higher nighttime winter temperatures , so take some suggestions with a grain of salt unless you have a humongous greenhouse.
THere's a couple Central Valley rare fruiters on the forum that could give good suggestions on what has actually worked for them in a similar climate.

If we are ruling out stuff like melons,bananas and tomatoes and talking trees fruits not many can do it in 3 years. Dwarf ambarella can, scarlet jabs can, sometimes jackfruit can.

I have a scarlet jabotacaba which fruited in 980 days and have seen pitangatuba that
fruited in 18 months

Seeing this thread's 2yrs old, how did you guys do? 

[Jaboticaba45]

Strawberry tree fruits in about 1 year from seed, although cuttings root and fruit faster.

Great insight there Flip. I think the winner would be some precocious dwarf ambarellas. Didn't Rhianna sing a song about this fruit?

[fliptop]

Probably the wisest stuff I've ever said, Mike T.

I had initially asked about Dwarf Ambarella here, but the question was getting lost in the shuffle, so I removed my posts here and started the new thread. My apologies and if I could remove the posts altogether, I would.

While cuttings are always quicker to fruit and will be truer to the parent, the following can fruit in a couple of years:  cocoplum, noni, seagrape.

Jamaican cherry AKA Mutingia Calabura. From seed to fruit in one year. Very vigorous and could be invasive.

[Mike T]

A new champion has emerged. Seeds from my bilimbi tree fruit planted 5 weeks ago produced a super precocious individual.

I've had some papaya fruit within a year but have trouble keeping them healthy in the winter. They seem to develop rot around their leaf scars, but I have some that are a couple years old. Jamaican cherry fruits quickly. I ripped it out of the ground before testing its cold tolerance but it did get frosted leaves at 35 degrees so im not sure if it would have survived - but I wasn't thrilled with the fruit or look of the tree. Ambarella true to its reputation fruited extremely fast.
