Some photos from today's garden festival at Fairchild Gardens in Miami. There were lots of tropical fruit for sale at very good prices. Those Miami locals that did not attend missed a great event. I went to Richard Campbell's lecture-tour and Noris Ledesmas's presentation on Mangifera species and both were excellent!
The RFCI had plenty of nice fruits for sale
RFCI Mamey for sale includes Pantin and Magana. I checked them for ripeness and they were perfect
Local Bananas for sale included Goldfinger and my favorite...Nam Wa
Fairchild Farms had several cultivars of mangos for sale including Joellen, NDM, Thai Everbearing, Florigon, Ono and Jean Ellen
Joellen mangos
Nam Doc Mai mango

Purple Caimitos

Nice Sapodillas for a buck....you can't beat that!
Jakfruits were $10. I tasted one and it was very good. Not sure of the cultivar.
Sign for the upcoming Mango Festival in July....a great event!
Here's my fruit haul for the day. The Rollinia was mine and the Red Custard is from my friend George. All the other fruits were from Fairchild and were all purchased for under $20
