Took some pics of the inside of the unknown autocarpus. Flavor was pretty much bland, but it may have to do with the fruit being picked early. Put it in a blender with some olosapo and olosapo cousin also from the F&S park. Delicious! Don't know why olosapo fruit isn't more well-liked or well-known.Jaime
1 could be bunchosia or monkey orange.I am with BMc on 2,I wouldn't brawl with Adam over 3 and 4 looks just like a E.victoriana to me and I have its twin in a pot.
I'm quite certain about the ID of plant one and three!I have many at my house.crush the leaves and smell them!btw, look at the white specks on the bark of plant one! feature is indicative of bunchosia.
I disagree with number two being the questionmark tree. I'd put a few dollars on it being the cucumber tree - parmentiera edulis/aculeata

I'd put a few dollars on it being the cucumber tree - parmentiera edulis/aculeataI compared my parmentiera edulis (guajilote) plant with the #2 plant and can see that they are different plants. Here are pics of my guajilote: #2 plant The guajilote has rigid branches and leaves, while the #2 plant has very pliable branches and leaves.Jaime
Something is making me want to say Flacourtia...
try crushing a piece of each leaf and comparing the smell.I bet they are similar...its like a taste test with your nose!let me know if u perform this experiment, and if so, what your findings are.thanks!

The zig zagged plant you have must be mis labelled. http://toptropicals.com/cgi-bin/garden_catalog/cat.cgi?uid=parmentiera_edulis
