I would add Mulgoba to your list. It has a classic mango taste and an important history.

Turpentine “stringies”...... get one or two for comparison. I ate my share of them. GN can be OK ask A if any Keitts have been falling off the trees like mine have been. One per day.

The Phillipine/Carabao I got from him were very good, if I order another box Zill is definitely on my hit list

I would ask for Lemon Zest if he can get his hands on some.  Me too if I had a source.

None of these are on most people's top 10 list.  But being in late season with very few fruit left on trees...I would get one of each fruit just to say you have at least tried it.
